Surrender control and accept change from "summary" of Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty

When we resist change, we are essentially telling life that we know better. We cling to our plans and expectations, refusing to accept that life may have a different path in store for us. This resistance only leads to frustration and disappointment. By surrendering control and accepting change, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities that we may have never considered before. When we try to control every aspect of our lives, we create unnecessary stress and anxiety. We become so focused on making things go according to our plan that we forget to enjoy the journey. Surrendering control allows us to let go of this need for perfection and instead embrace the beauty of imperfection. We learn to trust that everything will unfold as it is meant to, even if it doesn't align with our original vision. Accepting change requires a deep sense of humility. It means acknowledging that we are not always in control and that we must be open to the wisdom and guidance of the universe. This humility allows us to release our ego and surrender to a higher power, trusting that it has our best interests at heart. When we let go of our need to be in charge, we create space for growth and transformation to occur. In the face of change, it is natural to feel fear and uncertainty. We may be afraid of the unknown and hesitant to step outside of our comfort zone. However, by surrendering control and accepting change, we can learn to embrace these feelings as opportunities for growth. We can cultivate a mindset of curiosity and openness, viewing change as a chance to learn more about ourselves and the world around us.
  1. Surrendering control and accepting change is a powerful act of self-love. It allows us to release the burdens of trying to control every outcome and instead trust in the flow of life. By letting go of our need for certainty, we create space for peace, joy, and fulfillment to enter our lives. It is through surrender that we can truly find freedom and happiness in the midst of life's ever-changing landscape.
