Do we allow it to make us risk-averse? As humans, we do fall every now and then “tripping on our past”.

I think as long as we are able to notice and acknowledge what is happening around us at that moment, then we can help to minimize the “tripping”. 

Today we discuss this topic with Amal and how it shows up in our lives, perhaps you can relate to some of these insights.

INTRO: Winston Churchill once said, "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

Maybe even going out of my way to avoid anything that may put me back into that situation again as it’s too stressful. 

Now the caveat here is that given the fact that I’m wrong roughly nine times out of ten, I’m guessing Amal has a better take on what Surrender means.
