"Life
just is. You have to flow with it. Give yourself to the
moment. Let it happen." Governor Jerry Brown
Good morning! Today's quote offers some great
advice. One of my biggest challenges has been
relinquishing control. As an entrepreneur, I am
inherently someone who likes to control... EVERYTHING!
Those who feel too much control, also often feel
responsible for the feelings and/or actions of others.
This is a difficult path to tread on.
Several years ago, I finally came to the slow
realization that the only person I could control was
myself. There were many people I wanted to help or
influence, but ultimately, I can only put my "best" out
there. Each person can then take it or leave it. I am
not responsible for others' decisions or actions.
While relinquishing control is difficult, it is also
extremely freeing. It's as if a weight lifts off of your
shoulders when you truly internalize the fact that you
are only accountable for you. The less time you spend
trying to control external circumstances, the more time
you can spend "giving yourself to the moment," and
giving yourself to others.
Your Turn:
In what ways are you trying to exert control in your
life? How would it feel to relinquish that control?
Your Affirmation:
I am not responsible for the thoughts and actions of
others. I focus on giving the best of myself.
