Is the verb "submit" used correctly in this sentence "Everyone of us has his own burden. The only thing we can do is to submit"? Does it suit the meaning. Should I write "to submit to it"?

According to the OALD 8th, SUBMIT can be used as an intransitive verb; you can say GIVE IN TO and YIELD also.
