Common Grounds
The more you try and control outward matters, the more control you lose of yourself inwardly. The balance you try and maintain of matters outside, causes imbalance within you. One thing that you must accept in order to find peace is that you cannot control every matter around you. You have control over yourself, over your actions, your decisions the way that you react and respond. You can control how you perceive situations and how far you allow those perceptions to impact you - but you cannot change the matter itself. Sometimes, you will be faced with situations that you do not want, simply can't comprehend, and want to reverse. The truth is, life puts you in places of uncertainty and disrupts the balance that you had envisioned. Some matters - no matter how bad they seem outwardly - come to guide you, to re-route your journey, and to help you filter your own limitations and the limitations that are placed by people around you. Keep your intentions pure, keep your heart clean - continue to work on yourself inwardly and trust that the outward matters change in their own course - first with your own perception and second, as time permits them to.
