Surrender was the key for me too. I finally got out of the way and let go.
I really agree with you when you say, "To me it is about acceptance and living life on "life's terms not MY terms" I may not always get what I WANT but I do get what I NEED. The more I try to control things the more out of control my life becomes. So when I accept people, places, situations and things I cannot change I have a whole lot more peace and freedom."
In this borderline course I'm thinking about starting they also use the word, "Willingness" as opposed to "wilfullness". With more surrender and acceptance comes patience and peace.
I might get religious if I go on.
