To Win You Must Surrender
To accomplish anything in life. You must surrender to the process. That is the process of grinding, frustrations and setback. If you refuse to surrender to the process, you will resists doing the necessary work. Success will remain a distant goal.
You have to surrender yourself to the outcome. You can have the best strategy, but lady luck may turn her back against you. You can never force an outcome, but to accept the unexpected.
Other times, surrendering means making a tactical retreat and fight another day. You could have been outsmarted and outgunned. Instead of shedding more blood. Retreat, recalibrate and prepare for your next move. This applies to both business and sports.
When you find yourself arguing or having a conflict with someone important to you. It is worthwhile to be wronged than to win that argument. By surrendering to the argument, this allows room for compromise and resolution. Remember, when you are having a heated argument with your love ones. Ask yourself, "Do I want to win? Or do I want to be happy?"
