Release the need for control from "summary" of The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace by Dalai Lama XIV Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho

The desire for control is a common human trait. We want to feel in charge of our lives, to be the masters of our own destinies. However, this need for control can actually be a source of great stress and anxiety. When we try to control every aspect of our lives, we set ourselves up for disappointment and frustration. Life is full of uncertainties and unexpected challenges, and no amount of control can change that. Releasing the need for control does not mean giving up or being passive. It means accepting that there are things in life that are beyond our control, and learning to let go of our attachment to outcomes. This does not mean that we should not strive for our goals or work towards our dreams. It simply means that we should be flexible and open to the possibility that things may not always go as we planned. When we release the need for control, we free ourselves from the burden of constantly trying to micromanage every aspect of our lives. We can relax and trust in the natural flow of life, knowing that everything will unfold as it is meant to. This shift in mindset can bring a sense of peace and liberation, allowing us to live more fully in the present moment. By releasing the need for control, we also open ourselves up to new possibilities and experiences. When we are no longer constrained by our rigid expectations, we can embrace the unknown with curiosity and excitement. We can let go of our fear of failure and rejection, and step boldly into the unknown. In this way, releasing the need for control can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
  1. Releasing the need for control is about finding inner peace and harmony. It is about letting go of our attachment to outcomes and learning to trust in the wisdom of the universe. When we release the need for control, we can find a deeper sense of connection to ourselves and to the world around us. We can surrender to the natural rhythms of life, and find joy in the beauty of the present moment.
