" Get in or get out ”, I recall my mother saying as she struggled to keep the hot air outside and the air conditioning inside. Judging from how often I heard it, it was not very effective.
So often, we strive to control things around us. We expend energy over the outer world when in truth, the only control we have is with what lies within.
We try to control external events rather than our perception of them,.
We try to control the actions of others rather than our reaction.
Too easily, we get caught up in chaos instead of choosing to connect to inner peace.
Our attempt to control the outer world causes suffering, and our decision to hold tightly to outcomes prolongs it.
Control is an illusion; there is only choice, and while my mom wielded consequence to shape our behavior, the actions were up to us.
As the week unfolds, be conscious of your choice: Are you in, or are you out ?
