Your Morning Ray of Sunshine by Anand Sivkumar! Craving control keeps us caged. It may sound like a contradiction, but it's the sad truth. Wanting to control people and circumstances is what cages us, keeps us trapped. Consider, while writing a story, if you are constantly thinking of what will work, will the readers like, will it sell, we are caged by these expectations which will lead to doubt and apprehension. How then can we experience the freedom of just creating, of letting our imagination, conjure up scenarios, untrammeled. Same is true of relationships. Wanting to control, hold on to someone, get them to accept blame or forgive us, etc. is what keeps us stuck, instead of allowing us to break free and move on. Or any form of physical or emotional pain, trying to make the pain subside, obsessing about it, keeps us tied to our suffering, where just letting go would have allowed us to rise and move beyond. The answer is simple, even though we may find doing it hard. Let it go. Whatever is beyond our control, don't try to harness it. Surrender, focus on what we can do and leave the rest. That's the key to living and flying free and being happy. Sunshine in your day. [Music] [Music] You You
