Surrendering to the flow of life from "summary" of A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
The concept of surrendering to the flow of life is about letting go of the constant need to control every aspect of our existence. It is an acknowledgment that there is a greater intelligence at work in the universe, a force that is beyond our limited human understanding. When we surrender to this flow, we are aligning ourselves with the natural order of things, allowing life to unfold as it is meant to. Surrendering does not mean giving up or being passive. It is a state of inner openness and acceptance, a willingness to let go of our resistance and trust in the process of life. It is about releasing the need to constantly struggle and fight against the current, and instead, allowing ourselves to be carried by the stream of life. When we surrender to the flow of life, we are able to tap into a deeper sense of peace and contentment. We are no longer at the mercy of our own fears and desires, but rather, we are able to surrender to the wisdom of the universe and trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. By surrendering, we are able to let go of the need to constantly try to control outcomes and instead, we allow ourselves to be guided by a higher power. This is not a sign of weakness, but rather, a recognition of our own limitations as human beings.- Surrendering to the flow of life is an act of faith and trust in the inherent goodness of the universe. It is a letting go of our own egoic desires and a surrendering to a greater intelligence that is at work in the world. When we are able to surrender in this way, we are able to find a sense of peace and freedom that is beyond anything we could ever imagine.
