As regular readers of my bogs know, I'm a fanboy for the stoics, so this post from Seth Godin resonated with me.
It’s honest when we acknowledge that just about everything is out of our control. We can work to influence it, we can practice accepting it, but any time we’re engaging with others or with the future, we’re not completely in charge.
Control is elusive. If we accept the parts that are out of our hands, we can focus on the elements where we have leverage and influence instead.
Even that, to my mind, is illusionary. The only control I have, and I firmly believe this, is how I internally deal with the thirst to control from others.
