Chapter 1: The Myth of "Never Give Up"

Many of us, myself included, often feel weary of the phrase "NEVER GIVE UP." It seems to suggest that if we simply persist, we can achieve anything we desire. However, my understanding of life has evolved, revealing that this perspective is overly simplistic.

Life should be celebrated, not confined to a single pursuit. Strive to accomplish your goals, but if they don’t materialize, be open to exploring new avenues.

Do not apply a rigid "never give up" mindset to every situation. The Universe operates on its own terms, and we are not in control of its workings.

The essential secret to obtaining what you seek in life is to relinquish control and surrender to the universe. Simply let go. Communicate to the universe, “My life belongs to you. I am but a wanderer. I will follow your guidance, free of choices or options. I fully surrender.”

Since my college years, I have encountered numerous challenges—breakups, lost friendships, financial struggles, and more. After each setback, I would challenge fate, convincing myself I would emerge stronger and alter my destiny. Yet, this mindset was misguided; challenging the universe is futile.

It is only when you accept your insignificance that you will receive the greatest blessings from the universe. This acknowledgment is a fundamental step toward enlightenment—ceasing the race against the universe.

Express gratitude to the universe at every moment, and soon you will witness miracles unfolding in your life. Conversely, if you hold onto the belief that you are mightier than the universe, prepare to learn a lesson in humility.

So, embrace surrender and welcome whatever life brings your way. Accept both your victories and defeats with an open heart.
