Letting Go of Control

Morning Mantra: “The more you try to control something, the more it controls you."

This one has taken me half a lifetime to learn.  I was a control freak for years.  I was afraid to surrender to life because I didn't want to lose control, but I finally accepted that I never had control; all I had was anxiety.   
The anxiety of things not going as planned.
The anxiety of needing everything to be perfect.
The anxiety of needing others to like me.

Let go your need to control the outcome of everything. Letting go doesn’t mean you become irresponsible, or indifferent, it means you finally accept that you weren’t in control in the first place.  

Letting go means you start to trust things will work out, that you finally understand that life can be messy but still beautiful, and that the right people will accept you just as you are.

What you let go of is the anxiety. What you gain is freedom.
