No Control

You always struggle to feel “in control”. You don’t like the idea that certain things are out of your reach, that you have no power over yourself or others. You want to be able to do what you want, to move as fast as you wish, to have things going your way, to see others behave according to your own expectations. Does it work? No. Do you learn the lesson? Probably not! You refuse to see things as they are and continue to trudge though life burdened by your beliefs and pre-conceived ideas about how things should be, being usually disappointed because things go differently. Wisdom asks you to say yes to whatever happens, which evidently is the only wise decision to make, as situations often shape themselves without your intervention. You sometime have the possibility to actually create your circumstances, and it is good to be aware of this and make the most of it. But when it is not the case… better accept willingly what you cannot avoid.   *
