Most of the time......I prefer to be in control of things but I have no problem giving away control to others.....when I choose to, when it is better that way, etc. A control freak I am not......
Lately, I am going through an experience where control of a situation is out of my hands, which has brought about a chain of events that I do not wish to live through. It brings up an annoying by-product....fear!! Fear of not being able to prevent an unwanted life occurrence from happening.
However....on the other hand....is this not a good lesson? To learn how to approach such a situation not by being overcome with fear....but instead aiming to adopt an open mind? To coin an analogy....I want to attempt to manage this unwelcome situation based on this approach......think of a pilot of an aeroplane. He/she has been told that they will not receive information as to where his destination will be.....or even when take off will be. However....HE/SHE is the one with the skills to fly the plane! So in effect.....the plane will stay where it is regardless....unless he/she chooses to fly! So....who really is in control!!?? ;-)
I want to be a pilot.
What's stopping you?

What is stopping me........the pure fact that for some things....that I wish for....I do not have the complete decision making power. So in such circumstances.....I just need to find another way around it....change my thinking....so that I can have more influence.. Sometimes, I can only speak for myself.....what stop's me.....is me!
