09-08-16 Beyond Control into Connection
If you could watch your stream of thought, you would see that mostly what it is doing is trying to control Life – control people, circumstances, emotions, our bodies, and our minds. The truth is that making control the primary way you lead your life cuts you off from the very thing you long for – the peace, joy and clarity of being present for Life. Lasting peace comes not from trying to create the reality you want; it is about learning the art of showing up for reality – to show up for what Life is offering and trusting that it is unfolding as it needs to be – even the challenges. Mary invites you to look and unhook from your struggling mind so you can move from the need to control your life to actually re-connecting with it so you can know the joy of being fully alive.
