It's a tough question, but I think all of us like to have some sort of control in our life.  But when you sit back and think about it, is it really worth it to try and control everything?  What are we accomplishing when we try to control everything?  I can tell you a few things that will probably occur when you try - stress, overworked, tired, rushed.  If you are a control freak, you probably say this a lot.  "Geez, I wish there were more hours in a day" :-)

I have been thinking about this a lot lately and maybe it's because I am reading this book now.  And maybe this is why this quote caught my attention today:

There's no doubt that, as human beings, we cannot control all that happens to us -- that's the fate part.  Life runs along according to its own course.  But what we do have enormous control over is the way we respond to what life sends our way.  So that's the partnership:  do your best --the very best that you know how to do in every dimension of your life -- and then let life do the rest.  It's really a delicate balance between making it happen and letting it happen. -- Daily Inspiration, Robin Sharma

But how can I let go even more, so life just happens.  I think I am pretty good at this, but there is always room for improvement.

What things can you let go of to make life happen for you?

Here are some other blog posts I have read that might help you with letting go.
