As a recovering control freak (with lapses), I can tell you that trying to control everything can be stressful and keep you from many amazing surprises in life. Let loose a little – just in time for the weekend!
Surrender to the Flow
Through choice and action you can steer the course of your life. But sometimes the need to control every outcome can have you caught up in a whirlpool instead of moving forward. We may move in the direction of your choosing, but it may not be the direction in which you need to turn in. Loosen your grip. Surround yourself so flow, and trust that you will find yourself exactly where you need to be.
