"Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance" by Buddha
​
Acceptance, equates to non-resistance and surrender, which ultimately gets the flow of the universe working in your favor. When you accept the past and present circumstance by using them for their intended purpose, you'll be more capable of aligning to the reality you truly prefer, in your hear of hearts.
 
Surrender doesn't mean to give up your power, it is the realization that you are already in control of your life on a higher level of consciousness. All events, conditions, and circumstances in your life are divinely orchestrated by your own Higher Self.
