Release the need for control from "summary" of Being Zen by Ezra Bayda
The desire for control can be a powerful force in our lives, driving us to seek certainty and predictability in an uncertain world. We want to feel secure, to know what's going to happen next, to be able to plan and prepare for every eventuality. But the truth is, life is inherently unpredictable. No matter how much we try to control it, there will always be things that are beyond our control. When we release the need for control, we are able to let go of our attachment to outcomes. We can accept that we cannot control everything, and that trying to do so only leads to frustration and disappointment. Instead of trying to force things to go our way, we can learn to go with the flow, to accept whatever comes our way with an open heart and mind. Releasing the need for control allows us to be more present in the moment, to fully experience life as it unfolds. We can let go of our worries about the future and our regrets about the past, and simply be here now. This is where true peace and contentment can be found, in the present moment, free from the burden of trying to control everything. When we release the need for control, we also open ourselves up to the possibility of growth and transformation. We can let go of our old ways of thinking and being, and embrace new possibilities and opportunities. We can see the world with fresh eyes, unclouded by our need to control everything.- Releasing the need for control is an act of surrender. It is a recognition that we are not in control of the universe, and that trying to be only leads to suffering. When we let go of our need for control, we can experience a sense of freedom and liberation, knowing that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. And in that surrender, we can find a deep sense of peace and acceptance.
