We certainly face different challenges than most of Oprah s readers, but I found much of the discussion was applicable to my life as well. On Oprah s introduction page she says, This month s O is designed to give you insight about moving with the flow, surrendering to an energy and power that is greater than you know-riding the big wave that is your life instead of fighting it and getting pulled under. For most of us, the wave that is now our lives is not the one we would have chosen. Yet, our life is what it is. Living it in the most positive way is up to us.
Control is a difficult thing to relinquish.
For many people, letting go feels like giving up. But when you can let go, it means that you actually have sense enough to surrender that which you can t control, and to honor what you can control-yourself. And if you re willing to give up your attachment to expectation, you ll be rewarded with a life much grander than the one you ve been reluctant to release. I know I did. I fought to continue working when I knew my body was not willing.
