Most
of us don't realise we are control freaks. Not you,
you say? Well, do you ever try to control how other
people respond and react to you? Do you try to control
end results of your actions so you look good?
The
truth is that control is an illusion. You can only control
yourself. If you release the tendency to try to control
the thoughts, opinions, or actions of other people,
you have time for the only person you have power over
... yourself.
Of
course, we all like it when people think well of us
but we need to let go of worrying about what they might
think. It's a waste of our time and energy and causes
us undue stress.
If
you know you do your best, that is all you can do. Accept
this and be okay with it. Then you can be confident
most people will think highly of you. If they do not,
refuse to let it bother you ... you cannot control what
other people think. They're playing their own game and
you have no idea what filters they are putting their
view of you through.
When
you live by the Golden Rule - "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you" - and remain true
to yourself, you are in control of your own thoughts,
behaviors, and actions. It takes the burden off your
shoulders to know that the only person you need to control
is you.
Today,
choose to live every moment true to yourself, not worrying
about what others might think. Believe in yourself.
It's not outside of you ... it's not in any religious
or spiritual practice ... it already exists in you.
