The Art of Being Out of Control

Ahem. Now that we have your attention, we’d like to inform you that you can’t control anyone but yourself.
Yes, yes, we know you’ve heard it all before, and yet you persist in your controlling ways. But what if we told you there’s an art to being out of control.
Interested?
Here’s the thing. You can’t control outcomes, but you can increase options. If you increase your awareness, you’ll be able to think outside the box and see that there isn’t just one acceptable result, but a plethora of desirable situations. And once you do, you’ll realize that being out of control isn’t so bad, especially when you’re so artistically nonverbally intelligent.
Artist. It’s got a nice ring to it, yes?
