Surrender
Surrendering means letting go of outcomes, resentments, limitations, traumas, etc. Surrender is the act of becoming open and humble. Living in a state of surrender is an expansive, freeing lifestyle; it is free of the worry, shame, blame and guilt of attempting to control situations, other people, emotions, etc. The Truth is, anytime we attempt to control anything external to us, we are living a lie, because the only things any of us have control over are our own thoughts/perceptions, emotions and choices/behaviors. Everything and everyone else is outside of our control, and living in that Reality brings peace.
