WOM 026: FREEDOM NOT CONTROL

The Way of Mastery For Business Series | Day 25 | October 28th, 2025

“The mind that rests in trust needs control no longer.” – Jeshua

Control once felt like safety. If I could plan the outcome, forecast the numbers, or script the launch, I believed I could protect myself from failure. But every time life asked for something bigger, control became a cage.

Freedom doesn’t mean abandoning discipline. It means releasing the illusion that discipline alone creates results. In truth, control comes from fear, while freedom comes from faith.

There are moments in business when the path feels uncertain. The clients haven’t said yes yet. The strategy isn’t landing. The numbers aren’t adding up. And the mind starts grasping. But creation unfolds on its own timeline. The need to control interrupts the very flow that wants to carry us forward.

I’ve learned that freedom often looks like slowing down just enough to listen. It’s asking, “What wants to move through me next?” instead of “What must I make happen?” When I do that, the next step always appears, often in ways I never could have planned.

To live and work in freedom is to trust that divine intelligence is active in every detail — in the clients who appear, the timing of opportunities, even in the delays that once felt like setbacks.

Jeshua reminds us that what we hold onto tightest is often what we most need to release. True mastery isn’t control. It’s surrender in motion.

Reflect

1. Where am I gripping too tightly in my work or relationships?

2. What outcome am I afraid to let unfold on its own?

3. What might freedom look like in the way I create, serve, or lead today?
