Victory and Surrender

Our culture has a way of equating victory with success and surrender with defeat.

Life has somehow been framed for you in a way that is very goal oriented. Where success is defined wholly by the outcome.

In this case, victory is the ultimate success.

But what if life was more than just achieving a goal.

What if life was simply about living

Where surrender is not defeat at all, but rather part of the victory itself.

Surrender, can be marked with beauty.

Because when you dance, in essence, you surrender yourself to the music.

When you give, you surrender your possessions and your need to possess them

And in humility, you surrender your pride..

Surrender is not passive, but active.

It is not a weakness, but rather demonstrates great strength.
