There is a scene in Dune where Paul Atreides is piloting a multi-winged helicopter looking gizmo (called an Ornithopter) through a devastating sandstorm. Paul attempts to war with the crushing winds and sand but he soon realizes that his struggling is only making matters worse.

If he continues to fight, the Ornithopter will be dewinged and then entirely obliterated. Paul decides to do something radical. He surrenders. He retracts the Ornithopter's wings and then powers it down. The Ornithopter tosses and turns in the wind like a tin can in a tornado but it survives––it survives because it's no longer a foreign object flying against the sandstorm. It's a part of the sandstorm.

There will be moments in life where you will want to resist the natural order of things; where you will want to bend nature to your will. In these moments, it's especially important to surrender. Let go. Or, be dragged.
