Free man is by necessity insecure; thinking man by necessity uncertain..........Erich Fromm We hear comments like, Hang in there! Dont quit now, Dont give up the ship! When our outlook is gloomy and pessimistic, we should remember we are not in charge and we are not all-knowing. We cannot predict what will be around the next corner. If a difficult problem looms before us, we cannot be sure what help might also be there for us to meet the problem. Our compulsion for control tempts us to quit and give ourselves over to defeat. Then the outcome would be settled and predictable. We no longer would have to live with the insecurity of not knowing the future. When we are tempted to indulge in our addictive ways, or to return to a relationship that isnt good for us, or to face a painful problem, it helps to recall that change is a basic fact of life. However stressful this moment is, it will change. Not at our command, but it will change. We arent in control of outcomes, but we can choose now to hang in there and to give our energy only toward positive solutions. May I have the serenity to accept the process and the courage to be true to my part. Outcomes I will leave for the future........Daily Meditations for Men
