The opposite of control

The opposite of control isn’t chaos. It’s curiosity.

Chaos is a given, so control is an illusion. It’s not something we can actually have.

But it is something we do. We try to control circumstances, people, outcomes.

And we suffer for it. We suffer greatly for this illusion of control.

Curiosity isn’t merely the opposite of control. It’s the antidote.

You can feel the difference in your body, can’t you?

And you can choose that feeling—the one on the left—any time you want.
