Thank you so much for the live, Graham! It was truly enriching. I really appreciate the respectful way you respond to everyone. Sometimes I’d love to ask a question, but the topics move so quickly that I don’t have enough time to write, translate into English, and revise it. Thankfully, someone always ends up asking something similar to what I had in mind! Thank you for each wise and inspiring answer.
And how amazing that you’re planning to learn how to surf this summer in Australia! It’s going to be such an incredible experience — and I can’t wait to see you recreate that video! 😄🌊
That delicate balance of faith/action is always a challenge to figure out. I tend to be a doer and often want to leap before God is ready to show me His better way. We are currently on a long camping trip to the Oregon Coast. On the road to our campground destination our truck started making a horrible noise. There was nowhere to stop to try to figure it out so we kept going. I was praying we would arrive safely and that it wouldn't be anything devastating and I got the clear message that I needed to relax and we would be fine. Still, I fought the fear and stress off and on the whole way. We arrived safely and as it turned out is was a very minor repair and the auto shop didn't even charge us to fix it. God gave me the answer but the doer in me thought I needed to still worry and try to figure out the outcome and options when if I had just listened, I would have accepted that peace that was being offered. Having faith is contrary to our human tendencies, but it's always the right path. Thanks for the update and your thoughts. Great conversation.
A great chat about finding balance, listening and finding guidance from divine. For me it’s listening, being open to hear, surrendering what can’t control, that’s when I feel the guidance comes to me, there’s a feeling of peace and calm comes within my heart and mind. Blessings!
Making decisions along my journey for me is stillness, listening, hearing and trust. My guidance comes in that still, small voice from God. Doubt comes from my sometimes very loud “what ifs”. Hearing comes from subtle and not so subtle signs or opportunities. Clarity comes in trusting the source. As I replace doubt with trust and move forward, bumps will appear in the road but guidance happens in each present moment along the path. Life is an adventure, a journey guided from a place of harmony with life. I thank you, Graham, as you lead us to think about how your words and thoughts relate to our experiences, our life journey. Continued blessings on your journey.
So true, Linda! I also believe that it is in this silent listening, trusting, and following your heart that we find clarity along the way. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻
Thank you for reminding us that patience and surrender are also ways to move forward! I have had moments when changing my initial plan has led me to more enriching experiences. When we let go of control and trust, the unexpected can surprise us with something better.
I totally agree with you, Elizabeth! Sometimes the best things happen when we surrender and trust the process. Letting go of control can open the door to blessings we never imagined. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reminder! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Graham for the constant reminders to always listen to our hearts. When I don’t follow my intuition, things don’t always turn out very well. Also, it resonated with me when you were talking about being patient when working with other people. I have a tendency to just want to do it myself to get it done. My husband has Parkinson’s and everything he used to do, he does soooo much slower. I want to do it for him to get the task finished but then I step back and tell myself NO. He has to keep doing things for himself to keep his self worth and keep his body and mind working. So thank you again for this live.
I love the metaphor riding the wave and how that the Jedi is cool, hip and fun. I'm vision in my mind that Jedi-God is riding this wave with the surfer and is having the best time of his life and giving the surfer the permission to surrender and to rely on him because the Jedi has the surfer back and all that the surfer has to do is to stay focus and to take the necessary action to navigate the surfboard with no worries and no interfering with what going on in his mind all that the surfer has to do is to remind his mind, to get out of the way so that God can guide him and lead the way as he surrender and take action. I vision God in this metaphor as cool, hip and fun, I would love to be on a surfboard riding the wave with God. I remember feeling that feeling when God had my back it is an incredible feeling during basic training, I failed the push up portion of the physical. I master the two miles run, the sit ups, on the first try I failed the push-ups, I only had to complete 15 men push up according to my age, I failed the first time, you had three (3) attempt-I believe-was a long time ago, the second try- I passed with 16-push up. I remember when I went down for the 16th push -up I felt an energy that took control of my body and just lift me up with ease and no pain. It was the first time that I ever felt a presence of God/Universe intervene and carry me, it was when I surrender and took the action that I was able to pass the Physical exercise of Basic Training. It was an incredible feeling of surrendering and taking action and riding the wave with God/Universe having my back. Thank you, Graham, for an outstanding Podcast. You reminded me how important it is to get your mind out of your business so that God/Universe can do the job at hand, while we are the foot soldiers-taking the necessary actions. Again, Graham, thank you for a Great Podcast. Love to everyone on the Podcast, I am so proud to be part of your community. (thank you)
Graham, it is an honoured to be here. And I truly and truly enjoyed the chat. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to Ride the Wave - Surrender and Action with Jedi. Thank you. If you only know how riding that wave opened up my eyes.
Thanks for the quick replay. Like others mentioned yesterday, I listen to my gut. It never steers me wrong. I appreciated your thoughtful reply to Cindy's question re: listening to God. I'm going to try a "surfing Jedi" comic. Have a great day! 😎
Hi Graham, I tend to listen to my gut, go with the flow, be patient, bends in the roads will straighten and never be hard on yourself. To surrender in situations for me personally makes me feel like a huge weight off my shoulders. I love being still and reflecting! Your talks are divine timing in my life! Thank you :)🙏
I am so sorry I missed the live on this topic but enjoyed the recording and the comments. We should be reminded that the same God that we seek for direction before we take action is also one that can redirect us should we go the wrong way when we act without divine guidance.
Thanjs for the replay Graham. We are having a couple of changes in plans recently getting us to go in another direction. Our son is 21 next year and had a few plans to celebrate during the year but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to change our plans a couple of times so far. Things are on hold at the moment, but we know whatever comes along we know it will be a memorable year. Patience and guidance.
Thank you, Graham, for doing these meaningful lives. I enjoyed listening to the replay this morning as I wasn’t able to tune in live the whole time yesterday due to work. To answer your question, when things don't go as planned, I try not to panic or force a solution.
I take a step back, listen to my gut, and trust that there's a bigger reason behind the setback. I also lean on my faith in God, believing that even though I might not see the whole picture right now, I'll be guided to the right direction in time.
It's not always easy, but I've learned that clarity often comes when l pause, pray, and stay open.
Graham, I enjoyed this this Episode, it was great to hear your insights on Jedi riding on the waves’ 😆 and it made me think about how we all share our own thoughts about faith and the divine.
It is a feeling in your heart. As i am aging and my husband has passed away, i had to make many decisions. I had to decide where i needed to move closer to my children. It took many days of praying where i needed to move. My son in CA and daughter back in Indiana. God showed me the way.

Comic is done. I'll post it on BBQ Chatters. Let me know if you'd like to see it, too. 😎🌊
