THE THINGS I CAN'T CONTROL

"Ultimately, there can be no complete healing until we have restored our primal trust in life."
~Georg Feuerstein ~

It's a challenge to surrender to the things that I cannot control: other people's behavior, their hopes and fears, the timing of outcomes, and the nature of the outcomes themselves- my hormones, the weather- it's an endless list.
     Resistance takes hold of me and creates angst and tension. I want things to work out my way. That's what makes sense. And yet, being face to face with something I have absolutely no power to change is a lesson in humility. And I may not particularly enjoy it, but it is likely exactly what I need.

I trust in the outcome of things that are beyond my control.
