Surrender

That system crash occurred for me in alcoholism. And so my fourth time in treatment, I finally surrendered. That was January 31st, 2022. I turned my will over to God. Since then, magnificent things have happened. It is so much more beautiful than anything I could have ever in my wildest dreams imagined. I am sitting here with you in Sedona, Arizona. Four years ago, if you said, 'What is the most amazing and impactful thing you can do with your life?' it would have been something about money. And that would have left me very empty. Page 552 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says acceptance is the answer to all my problems today, because if you accept the things you cannot change, everything gets better, and then you play with the things you can. That is playing in the stream of reality. That is a truth. What I have learned is just sit back, stay in alignment, and what unfolds is so much better than what you would have ever thought. I am here with you today, and what we are able to do now is so much greater than what I would have ever picked my best life to be four years ago with my will. What God has shown me I am capable of in this world is far beyond what any man has ever told me I am capable of.
