@Serotoninluv Wouldn't that be surrendering/letting go? Total acceptance

Yea, that’s the hitch isn’t it? 

Perhaps “accepting” could be used more as an observer perspective to the no surrender/surrender dynamic.

Like watching a battle in a movie and being ok wether the battle continues or if the battalion surrenders. 

Who knows? Just some ideas swirling around in the ole noggin. ?

I've got to the point where I have to surrender my desires and satisfactions (although not very lasting) to go on with this work.

If your desires are true to your being the're not going anywhere. And if they arn't true they will fall away on their own. Best to find out early as possable so you don't spend a lifetime doing something that wasn't true to your heart. If there is any reason for you being here it is to realize your full potential. Every aspect of it. Even things the mind can't percieve as possable.

@ground What does this even mean? Sorry I'm truly clueless here. The first sentence is a given but the second I'm totally stumped.

"Before surrendering anything it's better to realize it as that what it is. Why? Because then 'surrender vs not surrender' may become irrelevant." means the intention to surrender is based on the misconception of true existence and if this misconception is removed through realizing it as such the intention collapses and 'surrender vs not surrender'  becomes irrelevant.
