What Does “Surrender” Mean?
Kute decided to write about the topic of surrender for two reasons: one was because this was the idea that spoke to him after narrowing it down from 75 topics that he deemed “best-seller” worthy and two, his mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2016. However, in the face of real and raw mortality, she was at peace. He saw that she wasn’t attached to living and only viewed her body as a vessel for her soul; she was surrendered. From Jesus to Buddha to Gandhi to Bruce Lee, figures he looked up to, he noticed that they have in their own way surrendered themselves to life, the divine, the infinite, their soul, and the deeper impulse of what life was seeking to express through them. In their surrender, they let go of their idea of how they thought their life should look and in that letting go, they tapped into another dimension of life, potential, grace and through that, life was able to use them in ways that was far beyond their own human capacity and capability.
Misconceptions of “Surrender”
There are many misconceptions of surrender and the idea that it is weak, passive, and a sign of giving up, sitting there and doing nothing, being a doormat, being taken advantage of, being left behind, and not being able to manifest your goals, dreams, and desires. However, the true essence of surrender as an active, powerful process is getting more than you could have projected with the limitation of your conscious mind and own personal willpower.
