Mainly, there are two kinds of surrender — one is surrendering due to panic, and the other is surrendering by virtue of acceptance. The former involves fear of fate, and the latter is all about love of fate, also known as amor fati.

When things go sideways and we don’t know what our future holds, we can either surrender due to panic and switch to a safe option, or surrender to the flow of life and let our heart guide us. As Kody Keplinger points out, “You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.”

The Stoic concept of sympatheia reflects the notion of a well-integrated, interconnected cosmos in which everything in the universe is part of a grander whole.

We are not alone; we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Instead of cultivating a narrow-minded perception of life, we need to take a broader perspective. We all have a duty to work for the greater good. It’s important that we let go of our selfish concerns and look after each other. Because one is all and all is one.

In a world that often measures success through external metrics—wealth, status, or acclaim—Oprah Winfrey offers a profound alternative perspective. During her 2013 Harvard commencement address, she distilled decades of personal and professional wisdom into one powerful insight: "You will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal: to fulfill the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being."

This statement challenges conventional definitions of achievement. Rather than pursuing accomplishments that impress others or meet societal expectations, Oprah suggests that genuine fulfillment emerges from authenticity—from aligning our actions with our core values and unique gifts.

Like the various applications in our cell phones and computers need constant upgrades to fix any bugs and make the user experience smoother, faster, and much more efficient, in a similar manner, we humans also need constant upgrades to make our life experience easier and more enjoyable.

With time, we gather negative thoughts and behaviors that affect our performance, productivity, as well as our mental and physical well-being. That’s why we need to check ourselves consistently and download new ideas, insights, and behaviors that help us offset these bugs.

Life is all about progress; it’s an experience to evolve ourselves, an opportunity to live our truth and potential. We make it worthwhile when we surround ourselves with the extraordinary. As we spend more time with them, we eventually become one of them. And as we join this league, we know that we are making the best use of our time and the life force within us, and are leaving a legacy that will serve others even when we’re no more.

The primary difference between an amateur and a professional is consistency and the sincerity behind the work. If you’re a professional, you need to stick to the code. You must be disciplined, follow the protocol, and be consistent with your actions. You can’t take your work or your actions lightly.

Here’s an important truth we must realize: We are not permanently bound by the limitations we are born with. Society perpetuates the myth that our abilities are largely predetermined—that those born with disadvantages must simply accept their lot in life. This belief, though pervasive, crumbles under the weight of historical evidence and human achievement.
