"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.
