Thinking Out Loud – What Can You Control?

Spread the love

“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” ~ Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

NOTE: Think of the things that can cause us to get upset? Many of them are outside our control. We can’t control if our team wins or loses. We can’t control who will win an election. We can’t control who our kids will fall in love with. We can’t control the weather. We can’t control how others feel about us. What we can control is ourselves and our reaction to people and events. If we want to be happy we won’t let people or events over which we have no control destroy our happiness. The only one I can control is me and how I respond to people and events. That’s my full time job!!
