The Art of Surrender

“You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.” ~Steve Maraboli

According to tinybuddha.com,

"Surrender literally means to stop fighting. Stop fighting with yourself. Stop fighting the universe and the natural flow of things. Stop resisting and pushing against reality.

Surrender = Complete acceptance of what is + Faith that all is well, even without my input.

It’s not about inaction. It’s about taking action from that place of surrender energy."
