Trust and Surrender: A Universal Truth Across Beliefs

10/21/2024

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.

Society Calls You a Dilettante. I Call It Strategic Redundancy

For as long as I can remember, I've been told to focus on one thing. At 47, after launching more than 20 businesses since 1998, I finally realized the truth: my inability to specialize wasn't a weakness—it was my superpower. While specialists become fragile when their industry changes, I built redundancy. Multiple pillars of expertise that let me pivot, adapt, and survive when markets disappeared overnight. If you've spent your life jumping between interests and feeling guilty about it, stop apologizing. You're not a dilettante. You're building an M-shaped mind.

The Power of Privacy: Why You Should Keep Your Plans to Yourself

Privacy creates a buffer zone for personal growth. Most successful people work on their goals in secret. Warren Buffett lived in the same house for decades despite being a billionaire. Naval Ravikant built multiple successful companies before going public. This allows for focused execution without external pressure.
