Control Freaks Unite #TheRunningWriter

I hate not being in control. The feeling of helplessness can be debilitating.

It’s exhausting. So why do I keep trying to take control of things I have no business trying to control?

Who can relate?

It’s when I’m exhausted and frustrated that I finally realize that it’s because I’m trying to control everything around me by planning every detail. Organizing. Controlling.

I step back, remembering I’m only me. One small person in the grand scheme of life. I can only do so much. Plan so much. Control so much.

It’s then that some of the stress I’m carrying on my shoulders eases a little. Sometimes I just need a reminder to step back and let out a breath.

Love people. Be kind. Do your best. The rest will fall into place.

Be strong, my friends.
