Inspirational speaker and author Kute Blackson lays the blueprint for learning how to surrender to life and in turn manifest your true purpose. He shares the power of surrender and how our childhood conditioning causes us to be divorced from our intuition and trust with life. He explains the different stages of surrender: from questioning, to accepting, to grieving; and provides actionable steps for going through this process yourself. Through the lens of his own personal experience, he shares the times that surrendering the vision he had for his career opened him up to something far greater than he could have ever imagined. With this in mind, he provides a clear lens on how to trust life's intelligence, face the facts when things aren't working out, and maintain a state of faith within the world's great tragedies.
