Hey peeps,
Today I want to dive into the art of understanding what's within our control and what's not.
Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and often, it can feel like we're being swept along by forces beyond our control. And while it's true that there are many things in life that we can't change – the weather, other people's opinions, traffic – there's also a lot that we can control, if we choose to look at it from the right perspective.
So, let's start with what's within our control.
These are the things that we have the power to influence, change, or take action on. It could be as simple as deciding what to have for breakfast in the morning, or as complex as making a career change or starting a new fitness routine. The key here is recognizing that we have the ability to make choices and take steps to create the life we want.
But what about the things that are outside of our control? These are the things that we can't change, no matter how hard we try. This might include things like the past, other people's behavior, or unexpected events that catch us off guard. And while it can be tempting to dwell on these things or wish that they were different, the truth is, doing so only leads to frustration, stress, and unhappiness.
So, what's the solution? It's all about shifting our perspective and focusing on what we can control, rather than what we can't. Instead of wasting our energy worrying about things that are beyond our influence, we can choose to focus on the things that we can change – our thoughts, our actions, and our attitudes.
This doesn't mean ignoring the things that are outside of our control or pretending that they don't exist. It simply means recognizing that we have a choice in how we respond to them. We can choose to let them consume us, or we can choose to let them go and focus on what's truly important – our own well-being and happiness.
So, the next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by things that are outside of your control, take a step back and ask yourself: what can I control in this situation? What small action can I take to move forward? And remember, the power to create positive change in your life lies within you – all you have to do is choose to use it.
Stay tuned for more insights, inspiration, and empowerment coming your way soon. Until then, keep focusing on what you can control, keep embracing your power to create change, and never forget how truly amazing you are!
With love and perspective,
Dezarae Grant 🌟
