E113 - Kute Blackson: The Power of Surrender: Allowing a Greater Intelligence to Guide Your Life

Listen to this episode from Know Thyself on Spotify. 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.André's Book Recommendations: https://www.knowthyself.one/books___________0:00 Intro 2:51 The Magic of True Surrender 13:36 How We’re Conditioned Away from Our True Selves23:01 Questioning Phase: When Pain Wakes Us Up27:06 From Avoidance to Acceptance 36:01 Grieving & Acknowledging the Truth 43:44 The True Moment of Surrender51:48 Fake Surrender vs REAL Surrender54:16 Something Greater is Waiting For You1:00:25 Why Things Aren’t Working Out1:12:14 Trusting Life’s Intelligence1:21:23 Learning the True Meaning of Spirituality in India1:36:39 True Path of Selfless Service1:43:43 Navigating the Great Tragedies of the World2:02:25 Conclusion___________Kute Blackson is a beloved inspirational speaker, transformational teacher, and coach to people of all walks of life.
