29: Solo Jam: When Life Hands You Lemons...SURRENDER

Dominiece Clifton Season 3 Episode 29

"Sometimes, when everything feels heavy no matter how hard you want to control things, all you need to do is SURRENDER."


We pride ourselves on doing the most and keeping up with the fast pace of the world. We become overshadowed by our desires and are constantly searching for more. 


Sometimes, you don’t realize how overloaded you are until you feel like everything is exploding around you. Only then, you realize you've taken too much at a time. It then becomes necessary to take an inventory, remove anything that is unnecessary, improve what needs to be better, and move forward with a clean and organized viewpoint.


Exceptional Highlights

  • Surrender means slowing down and not rushing the process to get to the destination. Chances are, we're going to miss the lessons in the journey and will not be prepared for what may happen. It is through the process that we learn.


  • The universe is foolproof. If it sees that you can't hold and sustain what you desire, it's not going to allow you to have it. It wants us to learn first so we can be ready.


  • Some of the best lessons come from failure. We can't do everything perfectly the first time. It's not realistic to always be good at something the first time. 



Episode Highlights 


18:32 What drives me to keep adding goals

  • Dom: No matter how much I accomplish as an adult, I still don't feel good enough because of personal insecurities. 


27:32 Why do we need to Surrender

  • Dom: The amount of energy we use to accomplish things is far less than the power of the Universe. However hard we try, we still can't do it as efficiently, fast, and abundantly as the Universe can.


42:37 Establishing a new relationship with Failure

  • Dom: I'm probably not going to fail this time because I’ll do everything I can to prepare. But even if I fail, life will still go on. 


45:09 Surrender Requires trust

  • Dom: When we surrender, we admit that we need help, that we can't do it all alone, and that we open ourselves up to receive help.
