The Zen Way

Surrendering to change does the most to eliminate the stress. It creates the opportunity for breakthrough rather than breakdown. The Zen masters of Eastern cultures had great respect for the power of submission. They knew that to yield-to give in to a situation sometimes offers the only pathway to mastery. They would speak of the wisdom in letting the world have its way… of going with change rather against it. Then instead of being “stressed out” by change, we turn its power to our advantage. Its strength becomes ours.
