Control means that I have a sense of security - that I am not alone. If my room is tidy, if I have eaten healthy meal and I have a routine, everything is under control. And control means stability.
Or does it?
I have given into my head. My manipulative mind.
I would rather live in a state of fear than to live out of control. At-least in fear there is a sense of security: I know what to avoid it to not be in it.
Wanting absolute control is something that every one of us experiences, otherwise we would not fear rejection, not being good enough, not looking good enough. And we kid ourselves with these irrational desires, believing that if we are the best, it will equate security. The ironic thing is we will never be the best (not in even to ourselves) while we live in fear.
But it comes a point in life, a point in life where fear is no longer enough. The anxiety that shadows every move of yours, because you are scared of failing, of being alone, reaches its time to leave.
We have another beautiful voice that streams through our body, mind and soul. A voice from the heart, which out of fear, out of irrational thinking, we choose not to listen to. We tell ourselves that our heart gets hurt. But it doesn't, our ego gets hurt.
But fear is security, and leaving that security is scary for anyone. Realising that we can be happy, that we do not have to live in this given state, is equally scary. We like comfort and change leads us to the unknown.
Each day that passes, life presents us with a new opportunity to grow into a sense of happiness. We have a new opportunity to listen to our heart, our loving and forgiving heart, and not our fear driven mind. Each beautiful new day we can choose to live in love, in peace and harmony. The choice is ours.
And on the day we make that choice, we will be liberated.
All it takes is making that first big jump!
