POWER CONTROL

When those who we consider near and dear endeavor to organize a pleasant surprise or assist us by looking out for our best interest, it's easy to overshadow their efforts by being the person who controls everything. Our control of every detail of life makes it almost impossible for others to plan an event or outing meant to pleasantly surprise us. We do not realize that our controlling manner of how every minute of our time is spent prevents others from planning even a simple meal meant to ensure that we are eating healthy while going about daily routine task or to celebrate an occasion. This is more apparent when we observe others who may be happily surprised with a simple dinner gathering because they dared to allow someone to lead them to the event without the need to question every detail. It really doesn't take much thought to recollect how the state of mutual dealings involving other people seem to exist under strain or fail to exist at all when other's are not allowed to be involved in even the smallest of decisions. There's time for everything, as long as we control the ordered list of times at which things are planned to occur. We begin to enjoy life's surprises when we release our control over the clock, calendar, and series of steps to be carried out involving every aspect of our life and relations.
