Forum topic: Letting go of control

Just read such a good text about the benefits of letting go of control. 

The author described how believing in a friendly world as opposed to a threatening one can make your approach to most things less tense. Being loose in your mind, relaxed in your body, makes it possible to come across wonderful unexpected things in life. Rather than try to shape reality into a  preconceived idea of what’s desirable.

Living a couple of decades with a severe ADD partner made me certain nothing good would ever come to me if I didn’t grab it and shape it. It’s still my reality. I don’t believe in the kindness of my friends, the happy chance of stumbling into great things. Not even when there’s proof of it.

I vow to change this. I’ll once again be that relaxed woman who not only realizes she has no control of most things, but also doesn’t attempt it.
