Letting go of *Control.

article image placeholderUploaded by @FryedOreo
But when you are presented with a situation that you cannot readily change simply by controlling it, this tends to bring out the character in you that you thought you never had. Have there been moments where you felt comfortable with control and was challenged by chaos or reality to let you know that that control was futile. If so, share with us

How often does adversity kick your ass?

Becoming the change we seek in the world.

Greetings, Dewuan. Great swell man. An excellent point. As you were talking, I thought of the change that I seek to see in the world must become. So instead of expecting this change to just come about without work or action on my behalf is a fantasy. So in order for the change I want to see in the world to come to fruition, I myself have to work at it and become that change or become that example

A golden middle way / Chaotic situations: requure constant change

Hello, Friday. Ray up. Yes. I think there are, of course, many stages between these two extremes. The one when you master the situation when everything is under control and the other one where it's complete chaos most of the time, controlling implies putting yourself into question, reevaluating the situation. So it means changing, at least changing the expectations before acting. Because when you speak about control, we speak most of times about being active, changing the situation

Excellent points you made @The3rdOWL

Because they're attractive. It's what guys say all the time when a girl is really attractive, why are you single? It's because she's challenging herself or the guy is challenging himself to love thyself more than to always commit to another person and forego thyself. Not to say that's what all relationships are like. But something is to be said of the person who is attractive, has things going for themselves but happens to be single rather than the person who

Chaos spares no one in the game of life. @dzakyem

And I think we all want chaos to a minimum. But I have found, especially when it comes to my mind and stimulating ideas. I tend to prefer the chaos, especially when it comes to social audio and the space I provide for people to speak on posts like these. For example, I kind of prepared in my head for the chaotic elements

After just losing my mom, I lost my marriage, and there was really nothing that I could do about it. And not having that control of that situation completely sent me into chaos because I had no control over it. There was nothing that I could do to save it. There was nothing that I could do to make things better

@LadyO

Things are really cool. And I realized, in fact, the breakup was necessary for this stage to occur. It would have continued to get worse where I thought I was making it better by doing this and doing that extra thing. It was ultimately just going to be what it is now. So in terms of that control, as much as we like to think we are in control of our lives, we equally don't have as much control in our lives
