Surrender is not a weakness in this context, but an acknowledgement of the reality of your life, and of your participation in the flow of your existence.
Surrender
is not giving up, it owns up to reality.
Surrender,
in this context at least, is genuine freedom. Liberation from the addiction to
the drug called “How Things Should Be.”
Surrender
is one of the cornerstones of an authentic life because if you’re busy fighting
against surrender, you’re also fighting against the reality that is your life,
and it won’t end well. Refusing to let whatever happens to be okay is the same as
refusing to surrender to life itself; the good, the bad, the ugly. And it leads
to a life of frustration, sadness, despair, and a pervasive sense of
helplessness.
You
don’t need to “give up” surrendering. You don’t need to dive into a pit of
despair. You just need to take a look around you and remember that you are not
here to direct the flow of events, so much as you’re here to ride the waves and
currents in which you’re already immersed.
