BIRTHDAY GIFT It was my birthday yesterday, and I realized one thing: I can’t control big things in my life. I can’t control pandemic, I can’t predict things or stick to the same plans because things are constantly changing. I can’t control my future in 5 years. Indeed, there’re too many things I can’t control. What I can control is here and now. I can control small things. I can control today, I can take care of myself, feed myself, rest, sleep today. And many times I’m chasing control over the big things which I can’t change and I lose the moment. I lose here and now. I cling to the bigger picture and don’t see the beauty of the moment. I’m being stuck in the bigger things, and don’t notice people who love, care about, and support me. My birthday gift is to start realizing I can’t have control over life, life will always take over and win. And if I choose to fight and pretend I have control I will forever choose to feel miserable. I can change here and now, have the power of the moment, and the joy of the moment. Learning how to let go is the most painful and refreshing birthday gift ever. #letgo photo by @abdullah.k.fawzy (at Khobar, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0B4WEBId1/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
