A balancing act

A short break in between.

I am just wondering to myself how much do we ACTUALLY have control over our lives. If knowing what is the right thing to do is the first step then the actual execution will naturally follow after that. Sounds simple. However, due to human limitations such as the temptation of the flesh, distractions and interuption of plans due to external circumstances and the many other things, more often than not, we do not have as much control as we think we do.

In a way, its a helpless situation. Yet, it's also an opportunity for God to take charge during times when things does not flow according to our plan or how it should be. To follow strictly to the plan, one swings from the extremes of rigidity to being principled. To adopt the motto of following our heart, one swings from the extremes of unpredictablity to spontaneity.

It's all about balance.

And why is it so difficult?
