People who hold on to grudges, insist on being right, and try to change otherโs minds have a difficult time maintaining healthy, happy relationships. Surrendered people easily forgive. They are open to new ideas, and arenโt attached to being โright.โ As a result, people love working and collaborating with them. Others seek them out as mediators and advisors. They are more laid back and relaxed than their rigid counterparts, which makes them highly valued by others. They are passionate and emotional.

Surrendered people understand that true power comes from being respectful and listening. Surrendered people know themselves and are empathetic toward others. They don't measure themselves by how much they are liked, nor do they compete for attention. When they sit quietly in a room, others always seem to come to them.
