Today I share with you 35 enlightening quotes on surrender.
In order to eliminate pain and suffering, you need to surrender to the moment which life gives you, and not resist.
As the opposite of rejecting the flow of life, surrender means accepting and living fully in the now without resistance. To surrender is to accept the present moment as it is.
Surrender needs to be practiced precisely at those times when things “go wrong”, or during everyday experiences when you are triggered. It does not mean to give up or do nothing. Openly accept the moment for what it, and flow with journey of life.

SURRENDER IS THE PATH
First, you must remember that everything you fight has power over you, and everything you accept doesn’t. This means radical acceptance of everything that happens. In battle, surrender indicates a loss. In life, it indicates a spiritual victory.
“What would happen if we respected the flow of life, and used our free will to participate in what’s folding, instead of fighting it? What would be the quality of the life that unfolds? Would it just be random events with no order or meaning, or would the same perfection of order and meaning that manifests in the rest of the universe manifest in the every day life around us?”
Michael Singer, The Surrender Experiment
But understand that there’s a difference between surrender and resignation. When you surrender, you stop trying to control the circumstances and events of your life and let them unfold in the same way you let the weather change. Resignation is an assumption that your fate is sealed and the worst things about your life will never change. Surrender, on the other hand, opens your life up to limitless possibilities.
