There is one beautiful thing you can have control over: your own reactions. Or at least your reaction to your reactions.

Whether it is a death, a sudden loss of a job, or a broken wrist, it is actually the things that radically rearrange our world in shocking ways that in the long run give our depth and power. These endings are as important as our beginnings. Death is as sacred as life. Loss creates space for new to emerge.

Of all the many things that are out of your control, there is one beautiful thing you can have control over: your own reactions. Or at least your reaction to your reactions. As you learn to let go, you’ll be able to witness your reactions and guide yourself in a gentle, firm way to shift from unconscious reaction to clear response.
