       When we are all stressed out, we all have things that we are intensely focused on. That is what is causing the stress—we want things to go a certain way. We are afraid of an outcome that we don’t like. What we have to do is dial things back a bit. We need to learn that true confidence comes from our ability not to care so much, or not to care too much. Another way we could look at it is not to magnify our problems so much that they become larger than life. Problems can become much bigger than they really are, and this occurs inside of our minds. So, how do we learn not to care so much, or to not over-care? Well, it all comes down to being surrendered in everything. When we are surrendered, we have humbled ourselves. We have made it so that we are not stuck on a fixed outcome in a given situation. We are surrendered in something when we know we will be at peace no matter what the outcome. We can safely do this because we know, at the end of the day, that “All that matters is God.”
