control

We’d all love control and a mutual web of trust with others in our life and communities. Even if there was conflict, we’d have people to confide in and mediate.

The reality is we’re all likely average and should lower our expectations for ourselves and others. Give ourselves some grace when we can’t control everything.

What we can control is continual learning and taking what works into our life. Perhaps it’s the best way to cope. And with that, we still have hope.
