If you refer to yourself as a “control freak” or those around you are constantly calling you one, this one’s for you.
??????
It always strikes me as interesting, the way some of us proudly announce that we are “control freaks”.
Any bit of uncertainty makes us uneasy because it is out of our scope of influence.
-
Many of us have grown up believing that being “in control” of our lives and its endeavors makes us prepared, levelheaded, and organized- and to you I say, “everything in moderation.”
-
I think we need to have a handle on our lives, thoughts, and emotions, but not to the point that we lose the ability to adapt when things don’t go as planned.
-
Know yourself, but also that you can and will change.
Know that you have immense power inside of you, but in some situations, accept that you will be rendered powerless.
Know that you can and should develop self-control, but also that there are things in life that you will need to surrender to.
-
When life requires you to be flexible, but you stay rigid in your need to control, you stand a greater chance of breaking under pressure.
-
When life throws curve balls, and you stay fixated on “how it should’ve gone”, you prevent yourself from experiencing anything good or beautiful in the way that things did end up.
-
If you’re caught in one of life’s unpredictable rip currents, and there’s no way that you can control the direction or flow, lay the ores down and look around.
There are things that are still worth experiencing and lessons worth learning in the way your circumstances did pan out.
-
Let’s not own the title “control freak” anymore.
It’s time to stop reinforcing the inability to flex with life as one of our defining qualities.
-
In its stead,
Do what you can
where you are
with what you have
and surrender the rest.
