Surrender vs Compliance: Finding Freedom in Sobriety and Life
The more I surrender, the more I enjoy the moment I'm in, or the more I'm present in the moment I'm in, the more freedom I have from the bondage of self, the more I can be present and enjoy this moment.
Ever feel like you're just going through the motions, sticking to rules without really feeling free? In this episode of 'Love Your Life', Randy Mermell dives into the powerful difference between surrender and compliance. Drawing from his own battles with addiction and self-doubt, Randy sheds light on why truly letting go can be more liberating than simply following the rules.
