Gives me something to think about... I know I'm not the woman I want to be--but I'm working on it. I'm confident enough to want to be able to share part of this journey with another person in an R, and strong enough to know that it will not change my growth or my journey if I don't.
I think a big clue (for me) was when I started to look at my future with excitement instead of dread. I keep saying it and I mean it... your life is going to be good whether you get the outcome you (think you) want or if it is the complete opposite of that vision.
I stopped dreading the future when I stopped being afraid of it. I stopped being afraid of it when I realized that I can control my life & that it didn't hinge on anyone else's decisions. All of the decisions that mattered belonged to me.
Of course it really helps being able to just roll with the punches. I miss Jack's quote, "Life is all about how you handle plan B". Ummm... yep. It sure is.
A control freak... who goes with the flow & knows she can only really control herself? Hmmm.... go figure.
