The concept of "surrender" is unique.  For me to become more peaceful and tranquil, I must surrender my ego to my Lord, my higher power. 


However, the fastpaced world preaches "control", etc. for a better feeling. 


I feel so much better when I "surrender" at that moment, but, alas, the feeling doesn't last.  I guess it's a constant thing no to give into the "I have it going on" thing. 


What's your take on this?  Do you co-drive with your higher power, or do you manifest your life on your own?

Surrendering can come in so many different ways. If you surrender to just give up on something that you truely believe in, it's wrong. If you surrender to keep peace between you and another and there is no ramifications or consequences to doing it, it could be right. If you surrender because you are just being stubborn, than you could be right or wrong. If you are surrendering yourself to a higher power than that's good, too as long as you feel comfortable doing it.
I guess, my opinion on it is that it is your own inner self that has to make the choice of when you do. It's a tough question to answer just one way.
