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.
