You think you can control life. It’s one of the best illusions of the universe, that you control it, the vast gaping chaos of the universe. Your own ego against the whole mystery of reality.

You can’t.

The sooner you realise this, you know, the less you will stress about the small things. The small things that eat inside your mind and consume your very soul until you forget where you are and what you are and who you are and you’re just worry.

Because you know what?

Worry doesn’t give you control against the chaos of the universe. It is just the illusion of control.

Take a step back, open your eyes, and see the vast madness that is the universe.

And then let it go.

Let it all go.
