Surrendering requires courage from "summary" of Surrender by Bono

Surrendering is often seen as a sign of weakness, a giving up of control. But in reality, it takes a great deal of courage to surrender. It requires facing your fears, letting go of your ego, and trusting in something bigger than yourself. When we surrender, we are acknowledging that we are not in control of everything. We are admitting that we cannot always dictate the outcomes of our lives. This can be a scary realization, as it means we must confront the unknown and accept that we may not always get what we want. Surrendering also means letting go of our pride and ego. It means admitting that we don't have all the answers, that we are not perfect, and that we need help. This can be a humbling experience, as it requires us to be vulnerable and open ourselves up to the possibility of failure. Finally, surrendering requires trust. It means having faith that things will work out, even if we can't see how. It means believing that there is a greater plan at work, and that everything happens for a reason. This kind of trust can be difficult to cultivate, as it goes against our natural instincts to control and manipulate our surroundings. In the end, surrendering is an act of bravery. It takes courage to face the unknown, to let go of our pride, and to trust in something beyond ourselves. But through surrender, we can find peace, acceptance, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
