Letting Go of the Need to Control
We have all felt the need to take the reigns at times and place control on someone or something in our life. There are times when we decide in our own minds consciously or unconsciously, that we are the ones who must take on this duty. Do we really have that right? Can we control another person, has someone in your life tried to control you. Have you allowed another person to take control of your life? I think we have all been through one or more of these things in our lifetimes. It seems to me that this is all part of human behavior and ego, to think that we can force another person to do something that we have decided is good for them. You and I have no control on another person no matter how hard we may try. The only person we can control is ourselves and our thoughts. By letting go of the need to control we are allowing ourselves and others to experience life is it is meant to be. Yes there are times when we can make suggestions and give advice but it is truly up to the person to make his or her own decisions in life. Trying to control another person is done by using guilt or fear. This is not coming from his or her higher self but from ego and judgment. You cannot ever truly control another person you are in charge of you. It is like thinking that you know what another person is thinking. You really have no way to know what another person is thinking even if they tell you what they are thinking. For what you perceive is maybe different from what they said. So how could a person even think that they could control another, it is impossible. Some of you may have children and maybe they are young or even teenagers. We teach these children of right and wrong we do our best to bring them up to be fine adults. We may think that we have control over them, but we forget that we are just giving them advice and that we truly have no control. It is eventually up to them which path that they chose in life. Sometimes our children grow up and think that they know what is best for us. They then try to control us by telling us that we should change our lives and that if we love them we will do what they want us to do. Well this is a way to guilt someone into doing something which as I see it will never work out for the best. For example: a woman I knew had a daughter that told her she could not see her grandchild because the woman would have would have a drink once in a while. Then there was the son who was telling his divorced mother who she could or could not date, he would try almost anything to sabotage a relationship. The mother then would be gilded into making a choice. What about the Woman who tells her thirty year old daughter who is not even married yet that she needs to find a husband and start a family. The woman is constantly harping on how much she wants a grandchild and that she will never forgive her daughter if she does not have a grandchild before she dies.
I am sure I could go one and on with many stories about how one person seeks to control another. But the point of this story is really about how we can release control of trying to control. By understanding that we do not need to control another person or let another person control us, we can begin to heal our lives. If someone loves you they will continue to love you, and will not place their will upon you by gilding you into what they have decided that is best for you. Allow others to give advice but always remember that you have control of your thoughts and feelings. You have the right to make a choice of your own and not what another person thinks you need. For you know instinctively what is best for you and you create your own consequences through what you think. Take action in your own life today and let go of how other people should live their lives. We as a society are constantly judging the actions of others. It is time to let go of this judgment that is all to controlling in each of our lives. Think of all the positive things we can do if we let go of wasting precious time trying to control others and situations that are beyond our control anyway. **************************************************************************************************************** Affirmations for Releasing Control I now allow my thoughts to remain only on the positive aspects of other people, instead of how I think they should live their life.
I release the need to control how I feel other people should live, and I now focus on me.
I welcome the knowing that I am the only person in control of my mind. I focus only on positive thoughts of myself and others.
My reality is mine and mine alone and I realize that I have no control over anyone but me. ****************************************************************************************************************
Just a little reminder that you are special! I love you! God loves you and there will never be anyone who is just like you. How amazing is it to know that you are one of a kind. Be kind to yourself this week. Know that you are the creator of right now and of your future. Your spirit is made of pure love and is always giving you signs, when you are in a loving space, you just feel good. Ego makes you feel bad ego is trying to block your spiritual progress. The next step is to acknowledge, when spirit is present within you and when to tell the ego to be silent. You are in Control of you. *******************************************************************************************************
