Control Freak

The days when plans go awry and things aren’t happening as planned can be difficult to negotiate.  Today, I will remember that I am not in control of the universe and if I continue to frantically try to make others fit into my version of what ‘should’ be, I will only succeed in an increase of my suffering and discontent.  I choose to practice radical acceptance and even though I may not agree with the way things are I will cease my efforts to regulate the world.  It is what it is.  I will face this day with respect for others, open hands and an open heart and aware of the blessings that surround me.
