i resonate with replacing striving with surrender being difficult to explain. the same idea has come up for me, and i've been describing it as 'doing (striving) vs. being (surrender).' and it's tough because externally they can look the same but the inner reality of each are so different. i feel like returning to improvisation has been key: there's enough relaxation to create surrender, enough surrender to want to play, and then letting play become the motivator for action.
