Control

Quote

"The most exquisite paradox: as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible."

- Ram Das

My Thoughts

Lack of power - or, more importantly, for people like us - refusing to accept our lack of power - is our chief dilemma. But when I let go, absolutely completely, totally let go of my need to control my desire for power, I allow a greater power into my life, and my life works. And it works better than I could have ever managed on my own. But I have to be willing to let go. I have to be willing to accept that I'm no longer in charge.

Action for the Week

I am willing to let go of my need to be in control.
