The only way to take command of your life is to realize that you are never going to be in control of it.

About This Quote

When you acknowledge that you’re never going to be in control of your life, you can stop trying to be. You can let go of the need for control and just be. Once you stop trying to control your life and just let it be, you’ll discover that the only way to take command of your life is to realize that you are never going to be in control of it. You can’t always predict everything that will happen and there are things out of your control.

If we live our lives hoping for things not to happen, we’ll find ourselves hoping for something else not to happen. But if we accept our limitations and stop hoping for things to happen, we’ll find ourselves living the life we want instead.
