Many times I act as if I am the ‘Master Controller’ of the
universe, expecting everyone and everything to bow down to my desires and
wishes. It can get very lonely and scary
ruling the empire by myself. It’s also exhausting
taking accountability for everything that goes awry. I am convinced of the need to let go of the need
to control. When I was younger, I had to
assume responsibility that I wasn’t prepared or ready to handle. I tried desperately to influence the people
and situations around me in an effort to avoid conflict, chaos, pain, and
suffering. It created an illusion of
safety but really wasn’t all that successful.
Today I find myself often holding on to control when it isn’t
necessary. I can choose to let go and
trust that the universe is unfolding as it should. I am not alone, you are willing
and ready to work with me. When I need
to step up to the bat I can do so and then surrender it when the need is
over. I will breathe and remind myself
that I am safe and confusion or chaos doesn’t require the same response now as
it did then. I will open my mind and
heart to share power with you and work as a teammate. I have gifts and skills and so do you,
together we can create moments of brilliance.
