“Control is never achieved when sought after directly. It is the surprising outcome of letting go.”
In order to maintain a level of control over the circumstances that happen in our everyday lives, we must accept the fact that we need to lose some control.
The trick is having control over the control we must lose to reach a bigger goal.
People will often go back to the expression about “picking battles.”
I have been told that I am lucky in how I can get those to do for me what I want. It is clearly a matter of communicating properly.
When I was job searching, I couldn’t predict on a daily basis which companies would be posting jobs in my field…or a field I could apply my skills in.
I was told by several people to look for jobs in my region because my life would be easier if I “settled” for a job that I could easily get to. Oh well I took something one region away!!
I had control over the job I accepted, because I can’t drive...how and when I get there is out of my hands.

This isn’t the most ideal place to wait at 7am…I’ve accepted if this is how I can get to work and see this….
