Surrendering control allows for greater ease and flow in life from "summary" of Zen and the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss
When we release our need to control every aspect of our lives, we open ourselves up to a greater sense of ease and flow. Surrender is not about giving up or being passive, but rather about trusting in the natural order of things. It is about letting go of our expectations and attachments, and allowing life to unfold in its own time and in its own way. When we try to control everything, we create resistance and tension within ourselves. We become caught up in a cycle of anxiety and stress, constantly struggling against the current of life. By surrendering control, we are able to let go of this struggle and find a sense of peace and acceptance in the present moment. Surrender is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. It takes courage to trust in something greater than ourselves and to let go of our need to constantly be in charge. When we surrender, we are able to tap into a deeper sense of wisdom and intuition, guiding us along our path with greater clarity and purpose. By surrendering control, we also open ourselves up to new opportunities and possibilities that we may not have seen before. When we release our rigid expectations and allow life to flow naturally, we are able to see things from a fresh perspective and embrace the beauty and wonder of the present moment. In the end, surrendering control allows us to experience life with greater ease and flow. It frees us from the burden of trying to manipulate every outcome and allows us to simply be present with whatever arises. When we trust in the process of life and let go of our need to control, we can find a sense of peace and contentment that transcends our circumstances.
