Surrender to what is beyond your control from "summary" of Being Zen by Ezra Bayda
When we talk about surrendering to what is beyond our control, we are essentially talking about letting go of our need to control everything in our lives. This can be a difficult concept for many of us to grasp, as we are often taught from a young age to strive for success, to be in control, and to make things happen the way we want them to. However, the truth is that there are many things in life that are simply beyond our control. No matter how hard we try, we cannot control the weather, other people's actions, or the outcome of certain situations. And yet, we often find ourselves wasting a great deal of time and energy trying to control these things, only to end up feeling frustrated, anxious, and stressed out. Surrendering to what is beyond our control does not mean giving up or being passive. It is not about resigning ourselves to a life of powerlessness or defeat. Instead, it is about accepting the reality of our limitations and learning to work with them rather than against them. When we surrender to what is beyond our control, we are able to let go of our attachment to specific outcomes and embrace the uncertainty of life. We can start to see that there is a certain freedom that comes from releasing our need to control everything, and that in doing so, we can find a greater sense of peace and contentment. By surrendering to what is beyond our control, we can learn to trust in the natural ebb and flow of life. We can begin to cultivate a sense of openness and flexibility that allows us to adapt to whatever comes our way. And most importantly, we can develop a deeper sense of compassion and understanding for ourselves and others, as we recognize that we are all simply doing the best we can in a world that is often unpredictable and chaotic. In this way, surrendering to what is beyond our control is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength. It takes courage to let go of our need to control everything and to embrace the unknown. And yet, when we do so, we can find a greater sense of peace, clarity, and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
