It was time to change my approach!
You know, I used to be the type of person who had to have everything planned out, down to the last detail. I would overthink every situation, trying to anticipate every possible outcome and control every aspect of my life.
But you know what? Life doesn’t always go according to plan. No matter how much we try to control it, there are always going to be unexpected twists and turns along the way. And for someone like me, who thrives on certainty and predictability, that can be really frustrating. When things don’t go exactly the way I want them to, I used to get so stressed out and upset.
But then I realized something – sometimes, it’s okay not to know what’s coming. Sometimes, it’s okay to just go with the flow and see where life takes you. I’ve been through this cycle of overthinking and frustration so many times now that I’ve decided to change my approach. Instead of trying to control everything, I’ve started to surrender some things to a higher power.
I’ve started to trust that if something isn’t happening according to my will, it’s happening under God’s watch. And you know what? That brings me a sense of peace and reassurance. Because I know that no matter what happens, everything is unfolding exactly as it’s meant to. Even if things don’t turn out the way I expected or hoped, I trust that there’s a bigger plan at work.
And you know what else? I’ve found that when I let go of my need for control and surrender to the flow of life, things actually tend to work out better than I could have imagined. It’s like, by trying to force things to happen my way, I was actually getting in the way of something greater. But when I step back and allow things to unfold naturally, amazing things happen.
So now, instead of stressing out over every little detail, I’m learning to embrace the uncertainty. I’m learning to trust that everything is going to work out exactly as it should. And you know what? It’s freeing. It’s liberating to let go of the need to have everything figured out and just surrender to the journey.
Sure, there are still moments when I catch myself slipping back into old habits, trying to micromanage every aspect of my life. But then I remind myself that it’s okay not to know what’s coming. It’s okay to trust that everything is happening exactly as it’s meant to.
And you know what? That’s a pretty powerful feeling.
Until next time, Adios amigo!
In terms of a changed perspective, I really appreciate how my father thinks. You can read about his unique perspective HERE!
