Having a fearless attitude you begin to realise that you can accept whatever happens. You can let go of life, you can follow it because you are not expecting anything out of it and you're not trying to control it. You have the wisdom, the mindfulness, the ability to roll with the flow rather than to be drowned by the tidal waves of life.
~ Kuan Yin
What if you let go of every bit of control and every urge that you have, right down to the deepest urge to control anything that may be happening with you at this moment? If you were able to give up control absolutely, totally, and completely, then you would be a spiritually free being.
~ Adyashanti
Our entire life seems to be nothing but a wasted effort to control our natural responses and reactions to events and change them to suit what we think are our preferred requirements. Yet, the controller himself is nothing more than a concept created by thought, by memory, by the past.
~ Ramesh Balsekar
If you want real control, drop the illusion of control. Let life live you. It does anyway.
~ Byron Katie
