Learn to let go of things beyond your control from "summary" of A Short Guide to a Happy Life by Anna Quindlen
Life is full of uncertainties, of moments that catch us off guard and leave us feeling helpless. It's during these times that we are reminded of the importance of letting go of things beyond our control. As much as we may try to hold on to them, there are some things that simply cannot be changed or influenced by our actions. When we learn to accept this truth, when we learn to release our grip on the things that are beyond our control, we open ourselves up to a sense of freedom and peace. We no longer waste our energy on futile efforts to change the unchangeable. Instead, we focus on the things that we can control, the things that we can shape and mold to fit our desires. Letting go of things beyond our control is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength. It takes courage to relinquish our need to control every aspect of our lives, to trust in the natural flow of the universe. It is a powerful act of surrender, a declaration that we are willing to embrace whatever life throws our way with grace and acceptance. In releasing our attachment to the uncontrollable, we free ourselves from the burden of worry and anxiety. We learn to live in the present moment, to savor the sweetness of each passing second without being weighed down by thoughts of what might happen in the future. We find a sense of peace in the midst of chaos, a calmness that transcends the turbulence of life. So, let go of the things beyond your control. Embrace the uncertainty, the unpredictability of life. Trust in the process, in the journey that is unfolding before you. And in doing so, you will find a happiness that is not dependent on external circumstances, but rather a deep-rooted joy that comes from within.
