Release control and enjoy the ride

While on my way to Los Angeles today I was thinking about how nice it was to not have any pressure at the moment.  I didn’t have to hurry to get somewhere, I didn’t have work that I “should” be doing.  All I had to do was read my book and try to guess what song my iPod was going to play next.  It was really nice.  Usually I am one of those people who always like to have a game plan.  I don’t like secrets and my dad loves to tell me that he knows something that I don’t.  While I am still working on being able to relinquish some the control I have over my life and just let it happen, I am realizing that I may be better at it than I think.

While on the plane I wasn’t thinking about if my bag was going to make it to the correct carousel, I knew the baggage guys would do their job and I would have my clothes (and shoes) when I got there.  I didn’t worry about if the plane would make it okay, it’s the Pilots job to worry about that.  I find it amusing how calm I can feel when I don’t have control, while I tend to look for control in my own life. 

I wonder what other things could happen if I choose to let life control me, rather that try to control my life.  I wish for you that you can feel the same feelings that I had today, of just know that everything was going to be okay. 

You have it all & Confidence,

Lyndsay
