Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control. ~ Epictetus
Having control feels good…control of our schedules, of the television, or of the words coming out of our mouths. The knowing is powerful and prevents us from losing control. What would happen if we released control before we lost it?
Can we identify the things that are out of our control today? What would happen if we put down the remote and proceeded on the journey without anticipating the outcome? Yes, it’s uncomfortable. Yes, it’s unnerving. It is exactly what we must do to tame our ego.
Let go and watch yourself respond, watch yourself fail, watch yourself recover, and watch yourself soar – all of it bringing you closer to your true self. The one free of ego. The one who knows that none of us is truly in control.
Make it a strong day!
