Control

Hey guys and girls -- Happy Friday!

I wanted to write a quick blog post regarding the topic of "control."  I should say, rather, the "illusion" of control.  

I listened to a wonderful meditation on the topic of "control" on an app called, "Calm" recently.  It helped to remind me that - as I talk about often on my blog and on my YouTube Channel, - there is really not much that is within our control in life.  All that we have is this moment.

Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma are perfect examples of this; how we do not know what tomorrow will bring.  The devastation that these two storms have unleashed is absolutely shocking and heart wrenching.  And mother nature's devastation was completely out of the control of anyone. 

So, what do you do if you're faced with a catastrophe such as the above examples of the hurricanes?  Or, on a smaller scale, how do you handle something that you have no "control" over?  You take things one minute at a time.  

In life in general, that is all that we can do.  Worry and fear will get us no where.  Taking life and all that it throws at us one moment at a time and focusing on what needs to be accomplished is the best way to handle every situation that we're faced with.  

The idea of "control" truly is an illusion.  We set up our lives and create systems to feel as though we're in control, however the reality is that anything can happen at any moment.  Being flexible to handle every situation will help you to keep moving, even during the toughest of times.  

My heart goes out to all of those affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.  And if you're in the path of Irma, please pay attention to your local officials and if you're asked to evacuate, please, please do it.  This is an incredibly dangerous storm. 

Much love and blessings,

Jesse

I agree,anything can happen in any moment and in the days ahead. Whether its a storm, or a random sore throat in the morning. Making the most of every second, the nice weather,our good health is a must. Choosing to be in the moment usually doesn't feel natural, but its more better than being trapped in a low state of mind, or seeing past what could really be there.
