What you focus on expands. 👀
What you think about, you become. ❤️
Where has your focus been lately? 🤔
On problems? 😣
On things outside your control? 😫
I know these both happened to me the past week. 🙋♂️
The realization at how much is out of our control can feel disheartening, right? 💔
Especially when Life didn’t wait to give us this fact one bit at a time. 👣
Instead it’s providing it via hailstorm lately. 🌩️
So what do you do now? 🤷♂️
🙌 Allow yourself to process this fact. 🙌
It’s a tough truth to think about. It was tough for me to sit with too. You’re not alone. ❤️
There is A LOT which is outside of our control. 😓
But I do have some good news…👂
There ARE things which are in your control! 😊
We cannot control the circumstances where we are born. 👎
But we can control what how we use our circumstances. ❤️
We cannot control the actions of others. 👎
But we can control our reaction to their actions. ❤️
We cannot control what Fate ultimately brings us. 👎
But we can control how we decide to face our Fate. ❤️
As you go through your day, ask yourself:
– Right now, what is within my control? 🤔
– Right now, what is outside my control? 🤔
– Right now, what can I do with what’s in my control? 🤔
Keep the answers you find in mind for the choices you make today. 🙌
If you’re theistically inclined, you can also remember the words of the Serenity Prayer 🙏:
“God, grant me the serenity to Accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.” 🙌
There’s a lot outside our control. 💯
But where hope is found is through this self-awareness: 🙌
📌 With the decisions we make in the present moment.
📌 With how we choose to treat each other.
📌 With how we embrace being the change we wish to see.
Let us not forget: you cannot have light without darkness, just as you cannot have darkness without light. ☯️
One cannot exist without the other. ↔️
Consider this post a part of the light that’s coming your way. ☀️
