The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection

by Mickey A. Singer

If the natural unfolding of the process of life can create and take care of the entire universe, is it really reasonable for us to assume that nothing good will happen unless we force it to?

what would happen if we respected the flow of life and used our free will to participate in what’s unfolding, instead of fighting it?

I was gradually learning that life was not as fragile as that voice in my head would have me believe. There were experiences to be had, but only if you were willing to have them. Most important, that was the first time I can remember crediting life for the flow of events that had unfolded.

Life had provided those things to me; I had just followed the flow. I was beginning to see all these experiences as a gift from life.

Was it possible that life had more to give us than we could ever take for ourselves?

My formula for success was very simple: Do whatever is put in front of you with all your heart and soul without regard for personal results. Do the work as though it were given to you by the universe itself—because it was.
