I really love Pema Chödrön's book When Things Fall Apart related to uncertainty and fear.
“As human beings, not only do we seek resolution, but we also feel that we deserve resolution. However, not only do we not deserve resolution, we suffer from resolution. We don't deserve resolution; we deserve something better than that. We deserve our birthright, which is the middle way, an open state of mind that can relax with paradox and ambiguity.”
I love the way you analyze yourself and then lay it out there in beautiful words
Life is hard but we do not have to make it complicated
So I think when you let go of control ( from results to response to behavior of other people or situations)) you become somewhat of a stoic and a strong person as well and keep life simple
It is a hard thing to do but it is the best thing we can do for ourselves
Thanks for sharing your thoughts so well
Good luck on your journey to become stronger and facing your fears
I am a very chill person who struggles immensely with wanting to control things, especially when they are uncertain. I related to so much about what you wrote and I love the idea of holding space for all parts. I’m coming to accept that yes sometimes there are things that served us that we need to let go of and also yes, sometimes we are who we are and punishing ourselves to be different doesn’t make sense either. It’s always a balance. I always appreciate your vulnerability Vinamrata!
