Control Is The Great Illusion
We spend so much time trying to control our life.
Trying to control the people in it.
Trying to control the systems around us.
Yet it is that very control that blinds us.
It closes our mind to opportunity.
It makes us miss the pivot.
The evolution.
The small adjustment that changes everything.
And do not confuse a pivot with a distraction.
They are not the same.
A pivot is alignment.
A distraction is avoidance.
Sometimes we cling on so tight, push so hard, that we lose the ability to flow.
We fight when we should flex.
We dig in when a simple redirection would have freed us.
I see this all the time.
People so focused on the original route that they stay stuck at a roadblock.
Oblivious that a clear diversion sits right beside them, waiting to guide them forward.
This is why I teach stop, breathe, think.
When you feel like nothing is moving, that may be the moment to pause.
Just like a traffic light.
The red signal is not punishment.
It is protection.
It is unsafe to move right now.
But the pause is temporary.
The green light always returns.
To see it, you must step back.
Rise up.
Stop, breathe, think.
Only then do the alternative paths reveal themselves.
This is also why I say:
Put your goals in concrete.
Put your plans in sand.
Your destination is fixed.
Your commitment is absolute.
Your arrival time matters.
But any seasoned traveller builds in extra time.
What-if time.
Space for the unexpected.
When you allow no time, no flex, no realism, the slightest roadblock creates frustration and missed deadlines.
Not because the goal was impossible.
But because the plan was too rigid.
Most people fail not through lack of desire, but through lack of adaptability.
They do not know how to go with the flow.
They refuse to take perspective.
They forget to stop, breathe, think.
Control is the great illusion.
Awareness is the real power.
