The harder we try to control everything, the more tired the mind can become. Peace begins when we distinguish what is our responsibility from what must unfold according to conditions.
We Cannot Control Every Outcome
We have more control over our actions and intentions than over how the world responds.
Put Down What Is Beyond Your Reach
Accepting our limits reduces unnecessary burdens.
A Dhamma Perspective
Understanding conditions gradually loosens the demand that everything must happen according to our wishes.
