The relationship between trust and control is like walking a tightrope:  it’s tricky.

In the balance between trust and control, most people don’t like feeling controlled by others, yet almost everyone wants more control.

Feeling in control makes us feel strong. Control is about using influence or power to make things happen in the way we want it.

Trust, on the other hand, is having faith in something or someone, believing that things will work out without trying to control everything.

It’s ironic that the harder we try to control someone, the more they might resist our control, the less they might trust us in the end.

Recognizing that we can’t control everything and everyone, it is easier to trust ourselves than to try to control someone else’s behavior.

Ultimately, trust is a surrender.
We surrender to the intuitive guidance inside us, helping us make wise decisions, reflect ourselves and others and treat them with respect without needing to control them.
Instead, we focus on controlling our own behavior, actions, and words, aiming for self-mastery rather than the need for external control. This is how we learn to trust ourselves.
