Eventually you’re going to be defeated. Something’s going to defeat you – because you don’t have that kind of power. When you finally realize there’s a greater realm of power that you can cooperate with – that’s what surrender is about.

So here we are facing a time when the very thing we valued so much – choice – has been taken away from us. We are all in situations we have not chosen. And now you’re going to discover your highest potential.

We really are in something together. And to that extent we have to draw an extra level of comfort from that. We have been in the experience of life together, but we haven’t been in the experience of crisis together.

You talk to yourself more than anyone else. The words you use impact every part of yourself. How you speak to yourself results in you creating, and recreating a reality. Every word we use packs a creative punch. I want to give you a word.

Now we’re in our second week of this experience, and – if my instincts are correct – we’re going to shift a little bit on our inside. The reality that our lives are going to change is really going to sink in.

All of our lives are going to change, and are changing forever. Forever. This transition is going to be frightening, and is going to be, for many, catastrophic. But it wasn’t unexpected. Remember Buddha always taught things change in the blink of an eye – and now they’re changing in the blink of an eye.

In scripture they talk about walking into the unknown, walking into the desert. There’s something about this time – as this is the first time, honestly, in the history of humanity where all of us are on the same journey. Everyone. In every nation. We’re all taking the same journey.

If we think about the conversation we’ve been having, we could feel something in the air. Something was changing in our lives, and now that ‘something’ has happened.

How do I even begin to address the epic we are living together? Something much bigger, much more profound, is reshaping our lives right now.
