peace of mind
"For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe.”
anonymous
Friday seems like the perfect day to let go of being manager of the universe. When I can sit back and be quiet and listen more and hold back the need to interject my two cents, it is more peaceful. There is this need in us to manage all operations, to want to control others actions. It would really serve us to learn how to turn that off. Controlling someone else or trying to control the actions of someone else is energy spent that could be put to some good use, like changing our own lives. When we take the focus off of them, whoever them is we must look at ourselves and frankly its not always that comfortable. It’s not easy to clean up our own mess or be responsible for all of the choices we make daily. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary if you want peace in your life.
Be conscious of how many times today that you want to control someone else, control a situation or simply complain about anything...Can you accept what is? Can you be ok with other people running their own lives? Can you be ok with taking responsibility for yours? Something to think about. Today I am going to stay in my own lane.
Today I am grateful for the peace of mind I feel in this moment.

The toughest thing for me is to place the responsibility for where I am, what I am doing and who I am on myself and own it. I blame the universe for most of it, so instead of making a change in myself, I find I try and control what is outside of me. It never works for very long, if at all. The simple truth is that I have created the good and the bad that is in my life. I asked for all of it in one way or another. The other residents of the universe are not responsible for my happiness and sense of peace. AhA! A wake up moment! I'll type it again: The other residents of the universe are not responsible for my happiness and sense of peace. So today I will exercise control of myself only. I will endeavor to cleanup my own mess.
