Let go of the need to control every aspect of life from "summary" of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

The mind thrives on control. It constantly seeks to impose its will on the external world, believing that by doing so, it can secure its sense of self. But this need for control is ultimately an illusion, a futile attempt to resist the natural flow of life. When we are consumed by the need to control, we are unable to fully experience the present moment. We are trapped in a cycle of anxiety and fear, constantly worrying about what might happen next. It is only when we release our grip on the need to control that we can truly be free. By surrendering to the present moment, we open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities of life. We no longer feel the need to manipulate every aspect of our experience, but instead, we allow life to unfold as it will. This is not a passive surrender, but an active participation in the dance of existence. When we let go of the need to control, we are able to access a deeper sense of peace and contentment. We no longer feel the constant pressure to mold our lives according to our desires, but instead, we trust in the wisdom of the universe. We understand that everything is unfolding exactly as it should, and that our role is simply to be present and open to whatever comes our way. In this state of surrender, we are able to connect with the true essence of who we are. We realize that our identity is not tied to our external circumstances, but is instead rooted in the eternal now. We are able to let go of the need to control because we understand that control is an illusion, a trick of the mind that keeps us separate from the beauty of life. When we release our attachment to control, we are able to experience a profound sense of freedom. We no longer feel the need to struggle against the currents of life, but instead, we flow with them, trusting in the inherent goodness of the universe. In this state of surrender, we are able to live in harmony with the present moment, fully embracing the richness and complexity of existence.
