From a symbolic perspective, the amount of energy we put into controlling someone else is the same amount that we don’t trust ourselves. When we trust ourselves, we let go. We practice being flexible. We’re building relationships rather than destroying them. I remember my children’s father constantly telling me how controlling I was. I was angry and my feelings were hurt. One day while we were knee deep in therapy, it came to me! I proclaimed, “Somebody has to be in charge!” What a way to deny the truth. I’ve had other friends label me with being a control freak – I’d shudder when they spoke those words in my presence. For a while I’d argue and then it dawned on me – I did have trust issues – and all of my experiences were mirrors reflecting the internal work I needed to do. Interesting how a four-letter word can make or destroy relationships. What if you were to ask those close to you how they experience you – do they get that you trust them or do you have a bit of internal work to develop trust within you? As we trust in ourselves, we have the ability to manage things and people without messing with their dignity. This upcoming weekend we begin a new year – I’m so excited to be here and celebrating our time together. I wish you an abundance of blessings and prosperity. My heart to yours! Happy thoughts ... make a great day! |
