Control vs. Connection

from Our Firesides · host Kelsey Mercer

Are you a goal setter, dreamer, driver and doer?  Perhaps you're like us and COVID-19 gave you a quick face to face with the stark and shocking reality of our fragile relationship with control.  While we seek the security we think control brings, when it's gone we realize how safe we never really were in the masquerade of "control". More than ever we are reminded of the only thing we can control; our attitude and the lack of control of anything, anyone or any place other than our own internal connection to self and how we relate to our world.   We discuss three areas that present some of the greatest areas of challenge when it comes to understanding control and how to let go of control and lean into connection.  These areas include: 1) Goal Setting, 2) Faith 3) Adapting.  You will be challenged to not only look at the external landscape of circumstances beyond control, but the greater internal landscape which connects us to our soul and allows us to move forward with renewed passion and purpose even when things aren't as you planned or pictured it.   Resources & Quotes: "  You don't need to feel it - you need to faith it"- Amie Dockery, UNFOLLOW YOUR HEART.
