If you are anything like me, you love-
absolutely love- being in control. You adore the act of planning your schedule, ranking higher than anyone else on anything, and having some power most do not have. You even crave so much control that you might even limit the amount of food you intake to stay trim! What I am about to tell you is extremely important: STOP. Yes, stop. Control yourself to allow some instability, consequences, and risks. Sound a little better? See, the thing most control freaks like to do is block anything that is, will become, or has potential to be a threat on their ability to do, to act, or to initiate. What we fail to realize-when that spontaneous current sweeps us in its magnificence- is that new, organic, simple, original things are produced. This is not in the slightest limited to minimized dreams, destinations, or knowledge gained. No, when we let our minds wander free without mediocre obligations and constant pressure put on us by ourselves, we are then privileged to see that we, and others, were far underestimated. Imaginations wild and spontaneity unleashed, we're taken aback when we see ourselves enjoying life more. We'll start to slowly see that stress is no longer prevalent; we are no longer held captive by our fears of not having control. In the long run, a relaxed mind is a mind that can think. A mind that can think is open to new possibilities. New possibilities leads to an introduced goal or dream. Dreams, embedded with sincere action, lead to a fulfillment of life at its finest.
No matter the fear you may be experiencing from letting yourself be less in control, I am certain you will discover amazing things you never thought you could before. By all means, control that is checked by moderation is necessary. Just remember to stay optimistic, open, and comfortable with a little change. That current that is pulling you from your niche of control and security may very well be taking you to an island with a spectacular view of the horizon. This same current could also be forcing you to make changes in your life that will positively influence you and the people around you. Whatever the currents surrounding you right now, allow you to banish your innate sense to control. For right now, let it be. Let the current take you. Let your mind believe in peace. Let your heart be confident in your
abilities, not your narrow mindedness. Remember to breath. Soak up the special moments. Allow your heart to sing and be tickled by life's simple pleasures. Let go, and let it be. Just as nature's currents eventually fade, yours will too. For right now...
live.
Believe me, another current will be on it's way. For right now, let go...you're on your way.
