I think the most challenging part of life is lack-of-control. If perfection is sought, oneself is setting up for major disappointment. Lack of control is one thing, but no control? That is scary!

There are only a few things in one’s daily life that are controllable. Typically, anything that pertains to the here and now part of one’s day. Aside from that, forget it. All bets are off, as life continues to unfold. The uncertainty brings with it a level of anxiety. Our next occurrence is yet unknown. Perhaps the surprise will be good, bad, or indifferent.

So how does one be ok with relinquishing control when all there is, is me? I have to do things, period. There is no one else, it’s just me and I cannot turn my problem into someone else’s problem. They have their own stuff to worry about. The whole of me is so much more complex than my outward appearance.

This is everyone. Everyone is in this battle called life.

Life without Control.
