When Letting Go Feels Safer Than Control

Have you ever wanted to press “Send”… but your heart whispered, Wait .....

" what if it’s not perfect ? "

That was me last night.
I stared at my screen for hours. 

My stomach hurt. My brain kept saying, Check again. Make it safer.

I call that voice the Driver of my life vehicle, the one who always wants full 100% control before I move an inch.

So I made a deal with the Driver.
“Okay,” I said, “you can worry for ten minutes.”
I took a deep breath in, slow and steady. I felt my ribs move. I told myself, You are safe.

Then, I pressed Send.

My heart jumped like a small car hitting a bump. But then… nothing bad happened.
The world didn’t end. The email was fine.
The kettle whistled. I held my cup of tea and just sat still.
The Driver whispered again, Check it one more time.
I smiled and said out loud, “No. I choose peace.”

That night, I taped a small note above my desk:
“ You don’t need to press every button to stay safe.”

And in that quiet moment, I learned something simple and true
You don’t have to control everything to be okay. Sometimes, letting go is the bravest kind of control.
