Exploring Without The Controller

The Obstacle
Exploring with the Controller
Is not fun
Or adventurous
It disregards
The possibilities
Or various paths.
The Controller does not want
To see anyone’s map
Explore different ways
Or understand the landscape.
The Controller goes strait to action
Their plan.
The Controller is confident
Wants no advice
Knows best
Listening wastes time.
The Controller controls the
Destination
Process
People.
In the end
The Controller
Creates dependency
Drives others away
Creates their own prison.
The Gift And Opportunity
The Controller is needed
But only when needed…
Select circumstances require control
There we should spend our energy
Controlling.
Know the limitations
Understand needs controlled.
For the rest
Open the map
Get the input of others
Allow them agency.
What might we be missing?
Letting go opens time
For others to do
For us to focus.
Let the Controller control
Only when needed
Where it is useful and productive.
Learn to explore
Without The Controller.
The Practice Of Self-Mastery
Take stock in how much you attempt to control
Remove yourself from where you not needed
Delegate fully without intervening
Explore with others before setting course
CHEAT CODE: TAKE STOCK → LET GO → DELEGATE → EXPLORE
