There are things that we intensely dread until we get there, and realize they're not to be feared but aspired to and embraced. Realizing that you're not special, not essential and not particularly important is one of those things. Your ego really doesn't want it, but it's bliss.
You're not special because you're just another human being with an ego. You're not essential because we all share the same essence and basic condition, we just get different and unique viewports to life. In a certain way, I am you and you are me, just in different egos.
You're not important because everything you can accomplish will be accomplished with you or without you. Nothing really rides on you, and sooner or later you'll be gone and you'll be a distant memory. If you stand up for something, 100% of the honor (or dishonor) is on your side.
This, to me, is how to submit. I'm still learning.
