After all, while it\u2019s vital to pay attention to the details in life, trying to control every last one of them will only drive you crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few reasons why you really shouldn\u2019t sweat the small stuff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Perfect Partner May Not Have the Right Shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It sounds simplistic, but you\u2019d be surprised. So many people think that knowing what they want means knowing every last detail down to their future spouse\u2019s height in centimeters and their favorite brand of footwear. While it\u2019s important to have a clear picture of the life \u2013 and love \u2013 you\u2019re looking for, getting too clear about it is going to rule out some pretty wonderful possibilities. And if your priorities are misplaced, it will let in some losers too. Try focusing on how you want to feel with your partner and areas of interest you\u2019d like to share in common. For instance, if you know an intellectual connection is as important to you as a physical one, it\u2019s probably more useful to focus on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/02\/vedic-philosophy-secrets.html\/\">finding someone with philosophical depth<\/a><\/strong> to whom you\u2019re also attracted than it is to demand specific knowledge of your favorite authors a penchant for a certain style of shirt.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Life Never Looks Like You Expect Anyway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It takes a few years to figure this one out, but once you reach a certain age you start to realize that some aspects of life look nothing like what you thought they would before you arrived at them. For example, marriage is hardly a happily ever after, it\u2019s a give and take full of ups and downs. Similarly, career success doesn\u2019t take away all your problems\u2014in fact, when you\u2019re super busy with work, some of your other issues are even harder to deal with! The point is, if you spend all your time worried about your partner\u2019s shoes on the dining room floor or your weight being exactly what it was in high school for your wedding day, you\u2019re wasting your energy. Life isn\u2019t perfect and it\u2019s not measured by these external factors. It\u2019s all about your experience. So, rather than focus on tiny details that don\u2019t have any real impact on your well being, enjoy the moment you\u2019re in while giving proper due to the big stuff. For instance, do you treat each other with love and respect? Are you healthy and fit? Then so what if there are shoes on the floor or a few extra pounds on your backside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Isn\u2019t Unlimited and it Can Be Misplaced<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sure, when you\u2019re feeling great, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/keep-passion-alive.html\/\">you feel alive and energized<\/a><\/strong>. But the simple truth is there is only so much output any one human being can give and eventually, you will reach your limit. Do you want to waste valuable life force on making sure your bookshelf is alphabetically organized by author, year and genre or do you want to read the books? Trying to control the entire world around you is an attempt to avoid what\u2019s really going on inside. So if you feel truly compelled to do so, it\u2019s probably time to turn inward and face whatever it is you\u2019re hiding from. Believe it or not, relinquish control of a few things at a time and you\u2019ll be freed in the process.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-top: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;border-bottom: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;margin:
