The Illusion of Control

[Haakuji]

We spend so much of life trying to control everything—

what people think,
who stays,
who leaves,
and what tomorrow will bring.

But life rarely follows the script we write for it.

Maybe control was never about making everything happen our way.

Maybe it is about understanding
what is truly in our hands
and learning to accept what isn't.

Sometimes peace begins
the moment we stop trying to control life
and simply start living it.

 

[cheetra]

Self control is the only thing we need to inculcate.
AAA prayer
Help me do the things i can
Help me accept the things i can't
Help understand difference between these two.

Peace doesn't come from controlling everything, but from letting go of what you can't. Beautifully written! "
