When was the last time you felt things were overwhelming and out of your human capacity? But still, you were trying to take all the things in hand. It’s a human tendency to get what they want. And if they don’t get it they will run behind it even if it’s not under their control. This way you are only going to disappoint yourself.

      It is so difficult for humans to accept the reality that surrendering to the universe becomes impossible. This cycle of unacceptance becomes a deep wound inside you. But we are not ready to surrender to the universe/ Source/ Creator/ God to take the call for what is not working in our life. As we think we have control over all aspects of life.

     So what magic happens when you surrender to the Universe? Do you get all your problems solved by a genie instantly? Or are all your desires fulfilled by a magic wand? To know it all sensibly, without jumping to conclusions first, let’s understand what is the process of surrendering.

    Many of us must have heard others saying “Surrender to the Universe” during our times of trials and tribulations. But what is the depth behind this simple yet impactful sentence?

     Surrendering is a process of letting go of the attachment you have toward the result. Yes, it is difficult, yet this realization also brings you closer to the bitter truth of life. We as humans think every aspect of our lives is in our control. Sometimes it’s necessary to go with the flow of life and allow the universe to take the call. At the same time, surrendering doesn’t mean your responsibility is over. It means you have to change your approach and keep working towards your goal to get the result at the right time.

     Surrendering to the Universe is about allowing the outcome to unfold when the time is right. Meanwhile, it’s your responsibility to keep working towards your goals. And keeping your faith in the Universe. Surrendering is an act of courageousness and not giving up on life. That is why people with a deep awareness of life, the laws of nature, and devotion to the unknown find it easier to surrender without hesitation.

    The idea behind surrendering to the universe is that when you let go of the things that are not in your control you neutralize your energy. This allows the abundance to flow effortlessly at the right time.

 Why do people hesitate to surrender to the universe?

A lot of people’s egos and belief systems come in their way when they want to surrender to the universe. This delays the process and traps you in the same cycle again.

With me, ego was not an issue, I was afraid of the tests and tribulations the universe would let me go through. I knew once I surrendered it would be the god’s way. I always had a fear of uncertainty. Surrendering felt like self-CBT therapy while having full faith in the universe. They say the Universe has its way of testing your faith. This was sort of an anxious situation for me as I was so used to my comfort. Somehow I was also ready to give up and accept his way.

The need for security and certainty makes a lot of us take control over every micro aspect of life. We start believing that we have the power to determine the outcome. Such kinds of deep-rooted beliefs from years, refrain you from surrendering

Also, a lot of people think that they become weak by surrendering. In reality, only the strong ones can make this courageous decision. When you let go of things it doesn’t mean you are a coward & accept your failure. It means you are wise enough to allow it to come at the right time for you. You can look at this practice of surrendering to release your blocked energy.

When you are fed up with things not going your way despite giving your best you feel demotivated and give up. Yet we hesitate to surrender to the universe. As we are not ready to accept the reality. This often delays the healing that we need. You feel hurt by the universe for not giving you what you want, and you feel no one is on your side.

 But, It is during these times you start getting some strong signals from the universe. Keep your ears open to what the universe wants to tell you after you pray or express your feelings in silence. This Universal life force is all around us and inside us. Acknowledge its presence and surrender the things that are not in your hand. Let the Universal intelligence guide you through the process till it’s the right time.
