CONTROL:


If we reach out and try to force
someone to give us what we believe
he or she holds, we will be
disappointed. We will discover that it
is an illusion. The person didn't hold
it.

In those moments when we are trying
to reach out and force someone to
stop our pain and create our joy, if we
can find the courage to stop flailing
about and instead stand still and deal
with our issues, we will find our
happiness.

Yes, it is true that if someone steps on
our foot, he or she is hurting us and
therefore holds the power to stop our
pain by removing his or her foot. But
the pain is still ours. And so is the
responsibility to tell someone to stop
stepping on our feet.

Healing will come when we're aware
of how we attempt to use others to
stop our pain and create our happiness.
We will receive insights that can
change the course of our relationships.

We will see that, all along, our
happiness and our well-being have
been in our hands.
