A soulful message for today

Today’s soul food is an idea inspired by Brianna Wiest’s 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think.

She talks about how we shouldn’t assume we know what will truly make us happy. Our minds can only draw from past experiences, so we actually don’t have a frame of reference for what might bring us true joy. Often, we’re simply trying to protect ourselves from what we disliked in the past.

When you understand this, you open yourself up to any experience that life has to offer, knowing that everything comes with equal parts good and bad.

A similar idea is repeated throughout Michael Singer’s The Surrender Experiment.

He explores how life is constantly unfolding in ways we can’t predict or control. Rather than resisting the experiences we didn’t plan for, he suggests embracing each moment as it is, trusting that there’s something greater guiding us—even if we can’t always see it. That everything is perfectly designed for our spiritual growth.

By surrendering to what life brings, we make space for blessings and insights we could never have imagined. When we do this, we meet each experience with curiosity and openness, rather than fear or resistance.
