When We Strive ...


--by TC, posted Aug 21, 2014

When we strive to control every aspect of our life we create a great deal of stress and tension for ourselves. There are things we can control such as the way we think, speak, act, the types of activities we do and the people we choose to do them with. Other things are beyond our control no matter how hard we try to do otherwise. We cannot control how others think, what they do or say and definitely not how the feel about us personally. We have no control over the weather even though we try and plan around it so that our outdoor activities are held in the most pleasant conditions. Taking time to think things through and realizing that we have control over very little may ease the stress and tension we create for ourselves on a daily basis. We can take a deep breath and just let go of all the need to control freeing ourselves to focus on the things that matter most, to love and care for our family, friends and ourselves. Letting go and having faith that all will be as it should be is a gift of peace and calm we can give to ourselves.
