I like to feel in control. I like the outcome of being in control. But, if life experiences have taught me anything, it’s that I must recognize and achieve balance between control and surrender (if I want to remain sane), and I must take certain steps to truly gain whatever control is possible.
Where does control even come from? It’s not just an innate sense, even though you can’t ever really have control without some confidence. Control has its roots in awareness. Its sprouts are made up of information, which brings forth knowledge. Effective communication fortifies control, and consistently taking action ultimately makes control a reality.
