Let go of the need to control from "summary" of The Power of Now Journal by Eckhart Tolle
The urge to control is a common human trait. We often believe that by controlling situations, people, or events, we can ensure a desired outcome. However, this need for control can lead to stress, anxiety, and frustration. It is important to recognize that there are many things in life that are beyond our control. Trying to control everything only leads to inner resistance and suffering. When we let go of the need to control, we free ourselves from unnecessary burdens. We accept that there are certain aspects of life that we cannot change or manipulate. This acceptance allows us to experience a sense of peace and surrender. We trust in the natural flow of life and have faith that everything is unfolding as it should. By releasing the need to control, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities. We become more adaptable and flexible in our approach to life. We learn to go with the flow and embrace the present moment with an open heart and mind. This shift in perspective enables us to experience life more fully and authentically. Letting go of the need to control does not mean that we are passive or indifferent. It simply means that we are no longer attached to specific outcomes. We are able to take action and make decisions without being consumed by the need for control. This freedom allows us to respond to life with grace and acceptance, rather than resistance and fear. When we release the need to control, we tap into a deeper sense of inner peace and contentment. We realize that true power comes from surrendering to the present moment and trusting in the greater wisdom of the universe. We let go of the illusion of control and embrace the beauty of life as it unfolds before us.
