Giving Up Control, The last Frontier.

We hear so much about control.

What is it?

What is it's Purpose?

Can we really control circumstances, people and events?

Whats it really like to be in control?

How does it feel to want control?

These questions are the basis for my blog.

The answers may not come as easy as we would like yet the fact that we want to control everything in our lives is a reality that all of us deal with each day as the events, circumstances, and people around us tend to not always comply with our most desperate attempts to get them to behave as desired,

Do you have a challenge letting go? Giving in? Calming down? Being Still or being at peace?

If you do, you may be more afraid then you would like to admit, or perhaps you can admit it yet seek release from this place of stuckness.

What is the cost of protecting yourself with fear? Does fear offer you a way to free yourself from the bonds of your perceptions?

Probably not, Yet we have to start somewhere....

All emotions are tied to our perceptions, that is the way we interpret our world.

Many of us have entire worlds inside ourselves where we create our own realities. These created realities may have no basis or foundation outside of our experience.


So when we hold onto a position or point of view, we essential want to control or have an outcome that we feel and think has a benefit for ourselves. ,

Could you let go of the energy, or the emotion that occurs when you want control and literally feel that you are out of control, lacking control?

If you can release this emotion this energy that that is there, you are well on your way to coming into control.

We are in control when we literally let go of wanting control, that is when we have no attachment one way or another about the outcome or how events occur in our lives


When this happens, our minds our quiet, we are calm and relaxed.....peace is at hand.....
