Trust and Surrender: A Universal Truth Across Beliefs

Trust and Surrender: A Universal Truth Across Beliefs

Trust after taking action is a universal concept.

The Islamic Perspective

Tevekkül in Islam is to trust in Allah after effort. The Quran says:

“Once you make a firm decision, place your trust in Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who trust Him.”

Al-i İmran 3:159

Christian Teachings on Trust

Christianity says the same about trusting God’s plan:

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear… Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.”

Matthew 6:25-26

This passage is about relying on divine wisdom not personal understanding.

Reality Transurfing’s Flow Concept

Reality Transurfing is about aligning with the universe’s flow. It’s about setting intentions and then releasing attachment to outcomes. This is the same as religious concept of trust and surrender.

Buddhist Non-Attachment

Buddhism says non-attachment reduces suffering. Dhammapada says:

“Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present and cross over to the other shore of existence. With the mind wholly liberated, you shall come no more to birth and death.”

Dhammapada

This is the same as releasing control.

The Common Thread

Across all these systems a universal truth emerges. After taking action, surrendering control brings peace. This principle goes beyond religious boundaries, trust in a higher power or the natural order.

My Random Thoughts

The Power of Starting Over

The Power of Starting Over

It’s interesting to see how people tend to give up only after their first try. Especially when they fail their first execution… I’m curious as to when this behavior is learned and became such a strict rule that it stops people from trying over and over again until they achieve their initial goal.

Two Days Closed Says Everything About Life

A small shop in Kalymnos closes two days a week without apology — a quiet reminder that life isn’t meant to be a nonstop hustle. In this post, I share what that simple sign made me question about my own work, why the Mediterranean pace adds years to life, and the steps I’m taking to protect my time.

How Environment Change Sparks Creativity and Breaks Autopilot Mode

Changing your environment is a great way to spark creativity and break out of mental stuckness. When we get into routines our brain goes into autopilot and shuts down our creative thinking and problem solving abilities.
