Things feel much easier when someone else is in control. Even if what is happening is bad, we somehow feel safer thinking that “someone else will take care of this”. That is why it is so easy to fall into the trap of believing that there is some big conspiracy. The truth is, you have a lot more power and control than you have lately been giving yourself credit for. And if you simply believe in yourself, you could very well be the person on which you are relying.
