Why Control Is Nothing More Than an Optical Illusion - Shaun Stenning

Letting go will open the door to new, and better, opportunities.

Even as more and more people want to waste their potential, explore their senses, and live their creativity to the fullest, many of us grew up in a culture that emphasizes managing the way things "should" be. 

They compulsively tell us how we should dress, how we should think, the steps they think we should walk to be happy, who we should like, and they even define whether or not what we do will lead us to success.

“Luckily, these rules no longer use to everyone. Every day there are more people who try to reveal the systems by choosing to move projects in which they understand and for which they feel great passion” According to Shaun Stenning

“And it was while reflecting on this topic that I asked myself the following question: "What was it that led [us] to make such an important decision in life?" And I came to the same conclusion over and over again, they let go [we let go] of control of everything that they made us believe we could control.” Shaun said.

Trust that there are people as good as you, and even better.

In the world of job, and entrepreneurship, you must recognize that humility is a quality that not everyone possesses, but that without a doubt it is a great differentiator. This not only puts you in prospect in any situation but also enables you to value everything you can learn from other people regardless of whether they have less or more exposure than you.

Accept that you can't do everything

How many times has it happened to you that you say to yourself or someone else: "Yes, I can handle this too." Or the typical one: "You tell me what I have to do and I'll do it." Even when you know perfectly well that you are already saturated with pending, meetings or deliveries. And, as you say yes, you visualize the invisible rope slightly, and slowly, squeezing your neck.

Learn to delegate responsibilities

Somewhat than creating that delegating is taking away your credit or stealing the spotlight, see this opportunity as the right time for others to gain responsibility.

And won't it be worth discovering people who are more skilled than you to enrich your business and your own knowledge? At the end of the day, your business depends on contacts, teams, and how well you know how to let go, choose and take advantage of all the changes that come your way.
