Day 11 of 365: I've
been pondering this idea that control is the enemy of joy. Life has proved to me over and over again
that I will never be fully in control.
The more effort I have put into trying to seize it, the more
disappointed I have become, as my life continues to arrive on its own
accord. Change is self-evident and the
more I can flex and flow, the happier I will remain. During my travels I can choose to want my
morning routines and afternoon adventures to look a certain way, but when it
doesn't go according to plan, I can choose to either (1) be angry and upset,
wishing the day were fully in my control; or (2) recalibrate and figure out
what there is now for me to enjoy. I
think the more I can choose option #2, the better off I will be.
