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.
