I am not the General Manager of the Universe

Why is it so hard for me to say hey I do not have it all figured out today. I do not have a magic Crystal ball that will go in the future and tell me everything I am supposed to be doing in my life.   I am not the Manager of the Universe. I mean I can barely manage myself.

Instead I preceded to bite my nails and obsess about everything that could go possibly wrong in the future. After I spent a good half hour of spinning out on myself I dive into worrying about my loved ones lives. Then I wonder if I am on the right path of what I should be doing career wise. Should I do this or should I do that played in my head like a broken record. I literally was trying to plan out the next ten years of my life. I was going insane worrying about things that May never happen.  I felt mentally exhausted and needed a nap after that merry go round.

I then stood up walked to my bathroom mirror looked myself straight in the eye and said Crystal you are done for the day. I decided to hand over my Manager of the Universecard to God and give him the reigns. I was sick and tired of  trying to control everything. Right then and there I had freedom. I put down my torch for the day and gave up the fight.

I had an epiphany today. Life is not supposed to be tied up in a perfect bow. We are not linear and either is life. Life takes unexpected twists and turns and It is up to me if I want to go with the flow. Today I realized I do not know everything and life is a mystery. I am on the journey and  I can choose how I want to ride.Or I could always revert back to the  crazy person I was today and micro manage everything.  Instead I decided to leave the battle for God and surrender.
