Surrender Control To The Universe

Oct 09, 2025

Often, you want to control the future.  You want to know how things will go in order to avoid making a wrong move that causes heartache, embarrassment, more work or money.  But, the truth is, control is an illusion.  You don’t have one hundred percent complete control.  There’s still this thing called life and it won’t always go the way you planned.  That may cause a lot of fear, worry, doubt, stress, and anxiety in your life.  But, the secret is to learn how to surrender control to the universe.

 

Fear

Fear creeps in when you worry about making a mistake, taking a wrong turn, or embarrassing yourself.  You want to control the outcome because you’re afraid that it’s not going to turn out exactly as you’d like.  However, you have to learn to release the tight grip.  Let go and surrender it to the universe.  Allow the universe to take over.  You can’t control the future.  You just have to trust that everything is working in your favor.

 

Surrender Control

To fully surrender, it’s like you have to be okay with the universe not doing what you want.  You have to be okay with whatever happens.  But, there is the illusion of control.  You are never in complete control.  The universe will often throw you curve balls, speed bumps, and detours.  You don’t have a crystal ball to know how the future will go.  Nor can what you do control exactly how each and every step will happen.

 

Permission

Truly surrendering is like giving the universe permission to not do what you want.  But, in reality, the universe doesn’t need your permission.  It’s going to do whatever it wants anyway.  So, you might as well surrender and release your grip of trying to control the outcome.  When you do, you’ll relieve so much stress, worry, doubt, anxiety, and fear.  You just trust that it will work out.

 

Co-Creating

You are actually co-creating your life with the universe.  You take conscious action and the universe is always there guiding you along the way.  You can speak what you want and desire into the universe.  Yet, only the universe will know how it will go and turn out.  You take your small action steps towards the life of your dreams each day.  Then the universe will give you speedbumps and challenges to help redirect you.  Remember, it’s this of what you want or something better.  You are co-creating the life of your dreams together with the universe.

 

Trust

Trust that things are working in your favor for the highest good.  This is when you ultimately surrender and release control.  Trying to control the outcome is pointless.  It’s never going to go exactly as you planned.  In fact, it’s actually better that way.  For reasons you sometimes will never know.  If you would have went down another path your life could have been drastically different.  You were guided down this path for a reason.  Trust it.

 

Accepting The Past

Lastly, in order to completely surrender, you have to accept the past.  There was a reason why what happened in the past went the way it did.  Maybe it was to get you to pay attention or to prevent you from doing something else that would have caused an even bigger issue that you’ll never even know about.  When you’re brave enough to ponder what you’ve been running from or fighting against from your past, you’ll be able to surrender to the universe and let it guide you.

 

 

Learn to surrender your control to the universe.  It’s going to do what it wants anyway.  You might as well release your resistance.  Let go of control and trust that everything is unfolding perfectly for you.  Trust that you’re being guided and the path will continue to unfold for you exactly as it’s meant to.
