Surrender
The release of control into a larger trust, without becoming passive.
Advanced definition
A precise practice: surrendering the illusion of total control while maintaining full responsibility for choice. It is active trust, not abdication.
Healthy application
Surrender the outcome, not the effort. Show up fully, then let go.
For reflection
"What am I trying to control that I could instead participate with?"
