How much do you love control? A lot? A little? Probably more than you think. That feeling of safety and security is so strongly desired. We all desire a certain amount of control, but sometimes we just go to fucking far with that desire, don’t we? When we want control for whatever reason, we will do so much crazy-ass shit to get it. Manipulating others (to benefit them, of course), lying, coercing, lying by omission, making “suggestions” or offering our “opinion,” etc., to get our way and regain a sense of control. Some of us will clean our homes and make everything spotless, thinking that if we have control over our environment, we have control over everything else within it (including others).
Reflections
What are you trying to control today? Where is your fear or insecurity rising up in you?
Daily Challenge
Every time you stand or sit today, pause for a few seconds to think about what is in your control?
