“This is the thing about life I've never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go.”
“We can’t always control what happens in our lives- things will go well, things will go poorly-but what we can control is our response to those events.”
“We all try. And try as we might to control things, sometimes bad things get in and it's not our fault.”
“We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.”
“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.”
“You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.”
