2. CHAPTER 4: SURRENDER
1. FAITH: "To Trust in the force that moves the universe is faith."
2. RESISTANCE: "Surrender is not weakness or loss. It is a powerful
nonresistance."
3. GIVING UP RESULTS: "To surrender to God is to accept the fact that He
loves us and provides for us, because He loves and provides for all life.
Surrender doesn't obstruct our power; it enhances it."
4. THE SURRENDERED LIFE: "'I don't know'... When we go into a situation
not knowing, there is something inside us which does."
"For in God's hands we rest untroubled..."

4. WIN – MODE
• Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life
- and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against
you.
• Eckhart Tolle
• Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that (man's) law gives is a
punishment.
• Mahatma Gandhi
• Quietly communing with God, when we are searching for guidance, is a way
of temporarily turning off our ego-mind. Instead of our ego-self thinking, "I
can fix this," we are willing to immerse our perceived problem into our higher
self.
• Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

6. WIN – MODE
• We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our
will and fulfill God's will in us.
• Saint Teresa of Avila 1515-1582
• I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. ... I need to
surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what
to do. It is trained to react.
• Sachin Tendulkar
• When we surrender to God, we surrender to something bigger than ourselves—to a
universe that knows what it's doing.
• Marianne Williamson
