The illusion of Control

Control comes from insecurity. Insecurity comes from control. I’ve sympathy for the insecure who attempt to exert control over people and outcomes. It sounds exhausting!

Control is a tempting illusion, but won’t offer peace. Most things do not need controlling, they need allowing. We don't need all the answers to trust and have faith in the whole story. Surrender isn't giving up, it's giving over, and embracing uncertainty is often the most powerful path to freedom.

The more you try to control something, the more it controls you. Free yourself and let things take their own natural course.
