The illusion of control

Drop into your heart

It is an illusion to think we have control over the outcome of anything and yet we are more powerful as creators of our own reality than we could even imagine. This is the paradox. This reminds me of a quote by Carl Rogers which says “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, only then can I change.” There is something so key about stopping and smelling the roses, being present with whatever “is” in the moment, and loving whatever is, even if it is not what your logical mind perceives as “desirable.”

Because it can be challenging to see the big picture or the whole story when you are in the middle of it, it’s important to remember that we shape the way our external reality shows up by the way we interpret and perceive it. Let go of your need to control things, for how do you know that this “upset” is not just part of a bigger path that you have asked for. We never know what will unfold on our journey to something; we cannot control the individual details. We can however feel and shape the vibration of what we want, and then we must let go and allow things to unfold and delight in the magic of what shows up.

When you can start to view everything as an opportunity to grow and change in someway, you can move away from the judgment of things, the need for people or events to be black or white, good or bad, right or wrong. When you accept what is, you can experience freedom. Acceptance is not approval, rather an allowing that this is what you have created at the moment and is a reflection of your willingness to allow things to just be as they are with no need to change or control them.

    It boils down to the adage..”what you focus on grows.”
