Acceptance and balancing

[neutral333]

What would be the balancing idea to the idea of "controlling circumstances"? Would it be "being controlled by circumstances" or just "letting go"?

Maybe acceptance?

It might also be worth trying to unpack the idea of "controlling circumstances" a little further. What circumstances, in particular? Why do you feel they need to be controlled? What about the circumstances makes you uncomfortable so that you feel a desire to control them? And then explore the discomfort -- what ray is it centered in? What feelings are associated with it? And then work with those feelings and balance them.

I guess what I'm getting at with the idea of "controlling circumstances" is that for my entire life, I feel like I am pretty much just floating around aimlessly adrift at sea. Don't get me wrong, I have had many adventures along the way and have made many self-discoveries. But, having no map or course for the future becomes a concern once marriage and finances become major responsibilities/duties. Seems like "controlling circumstances" is a must when carrying out ones duty...
