For the longest time I had a note on my phone that said “don’t fight the storm”. It’s a fancy way of saying don’t try to control it. You can’t, you won’t win so don’t try. Learn to role with the waves rather than letting them crash into you or trying to fight them off.
Don't fight the storm, be the cow that gets blown around in the tornado.
I’ll try and follow that advice. There are potential consequences if the outcome and tolerance isn’t sufficient in regards to the other party.
That definitely isn’t under my control. :(
