STRENGTH IN SURRENDER

Helping people live more authentic, meaningful lives based on purpose and service to others. By learning how to gain strength in surrendering into our fears and challenges, we can truly understand how to EARN our lives, GIVE our lives, and LIVE our lives.

PERSONAL PILLARS

We learn to authentically connect with ourselves and understand our true potential by gaining Strength In Surrender (SIS). Earn. Give. Live. Your Life. (EGL) is the daily practical application of the strength and personal connection we realize.

STRENGTH IN SURRENDER

Strength In Surrender is about converting our greatest fears and challenges into our greatest opportunities for growth and triumph.

We gain strength by learning to authentically connect with ourselves. This is accomplished by dissolving the ego and surrendering into our fears and challenges – remaining unmoved as they move through us. Such connection allows us to better understand our true drivers, priorities, fears, and internal challenges.

Practicing the critical skills of dissolving the ego and allowing our fears to flow through us, as opposed to take root within us, allows decisions to be made out of purpose, rather than fear and/or obligation.

EARN. GIVE. LIVE.
YOUR LIFE.

EARN YOUR LIFE. Possessing the capacity to do and become more, we face the uncomfortable and often unknown internal work with unwavering commitment and dedication.

GIVE YOUR LIFE. With the duty to maximize our potential and live for something greater than ourselves, we live outwardly and connect to others.

LIVE YOUR LIFE. Breaking free from our personal restrictions, we live in the present moment and realize freedom through contemplation, discipline and action. Open to the daily discomfort of growth, we act out of self-love and not in seeking to earn love.
