Today my project is - to stop trying to run the show!

Attempting to control the outcome of events does nothing more than set me up for disappointment!

By this I mean that it crystallises my expectations in a single direction  - with the result that I miss all the living in between. It makes me want to manage people and events in such a way that they can't do anything to threaten my idea of how things should to go.

When I try and manipulate or manage people, I set up a tension in the dynamic between us. I make events in my mind more important than the people who are participating in them. I drain myself, other people and situations of their spontaneity, and this in turn inhibits all of our connections with spirit and soul. Creativity and spontaneity have to have a free run to flow in and out of my time and space, so's they can breathe life and energy onto the stage of my life.

So today I'm going to keep reminding myself to let go of my need to control outcomes; in fact I'm gouing to try and not even be invested in those outcomes. I'm just going to enjoy doing the next right thing on the journey.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
