Surrendering to the flow of life leads to joy from "summary" of The Book of Joy by Dalai Lama,Desmond Tutu

In life, there are many things that are beyond our control. We may face challenges, obstacles, and unexpected events that can throw us off course. However, when we learn to surrender to the flow of life, we can find joy amidst the chaos. Surrendering does not mean giving up or being defeated, but rather accepting things as they are and letting go of our need to control every aspect of our lives. When we resist the natural flow of life, we create unnecessary stress and suffering for ourselves. We become trapped in a cycle of worry, fear, and frustration, which can prevent us from experiencing true happiness. By surrendering, we release ourselves from this cycle and open ourselves up to the possibilities that life has to offer. Surrendering to the flow of life requires trust and faith in the universe. It means having the courage to let go of our attachments and expectations, and to embrace the unknown with an open heart and mind. When we surrender, we are able to see the beauty and wonder in every moment, even in the face of adversity. Joy is not a destination, but a state of being that can be found in the present moment. When we surrender to the flow of life, we allow joy to naturally arise within us. We are able to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, connect with others on a deeper level, and find meaning and purpose in our experiences.
  1. Surrendering to the flow of life is a profound act of self-love and acceptance. It is a way of honoring ourselves and our journey, and embracing the fullness of who we are. When we let go of our resistance and surrender to what is, we can find peace, fulfillment, and lasting joy in our lives.
