Loosen Up!

" My goodness! Can you please loosen up?"

We say this to people that are uptight about life. Why are they uptight? Basically, they want to control every aspect of their lives or the lives of others. What tends to happen is what they have control over, or so think they have control over, they hold so tightly with their lives that their whole life's purpose ends up being maintaining control.

As you know, things in life doesn't always happen the way we want it to. Things that we hold on so tightly ends up getting away from us. Its like a pet or a kid, if you hold it or them too tightly, it will do whatever to get away. It will bite its way away from you.

The reality is, we don't have control over anything, and the thought that we do have control is delusional, it is a misleading thought. So what am i saying?

Loosen up! Loosen your grip! Hold everything dear in your life loosely. I am not talking about being careless. It is the understanding that everything in life is a blessing. Blessings end up biting us when we try to take control of it: Friendships, relationships, wealth, health, resources, family, children, etc.

Blessings can come and go, but when we think we can control it, it ends up getting away from us we become angry, bitter, and hold grudges towards God and others.

Loosen Up! Loosen your kung-fu grip on the blessings that God has given you and share it with others!
