Letting go of control is part of surrendering from "summary" of Surrender by Bono

Surrendering is not just about giving up or admitting defeat. It is about releasing our hold on the things we cannot control. Letting go of the need to constantly be in charge allows us to open ourselves up to the unknown, to trust in a higher power or greater plan. When we try to control every aspect of our lives, we close ourselves off to the possibilities that exist beyond our limited perspective. By surrendering control, we are able to free ourselves from the burden of trying to orchestrate every detail of our existence. This does not mean giving up responsibility or agency, but rather recognizing the limits of our power and embracing the idea that some things are simply beyond our influence. It is a humbling realization that can lead to a sense of liberation and peace. In relinquishing control, we are also acknowledging that we are not alone in this world. Whether we believe in a divine presence or simply in the interconnectedness of all things, surrendering is an act of faith in something greater than ourselves. It is a recognition that we are part of a larger tapestry, one that we cannot fully comprehend or control. Surrendering control is an ongoing process, a practice that requires patience and courage. It is not easy to let go of the illusion of control, especially in a world that values certainty and predictability. But by surrendering, we can find a sense of surrender in the chaos of life, a willingness to embrace the unknown and trust in the unfolding of our journey.
