What you focus on expands. đ
What you think about, you become. â¤ī¸
Where has your focus been lately? đ¤
On problems? đŖ
On things outside your control? đĢ
I know these both happened to me the past week. đâī¸
The realization at how much is out of our control can feel disheartening, right? đ
Especially when Life didn’t wait to give us this fact one bit at a time. đŖ
Instead it’s providing it via hailstorm lately. đŠī¸
So what do you do now? đ¤ˇâī¸
đ Allow yourself to process this fact. đ
It’s a tough truth to think about. It was tough for me to sit with too. You’re not alone. â¤ī¸
There is A LOT which is outside of our control. đ
But I do have some good news…đ
There ARE things which are in your control! đ
We cannot control the circumstances where we are born. đ
But we can control what how we use our circumstances. â¤ī¸
We cannot control the actions of others. đ
But we can control our reaction to their actions. â¤ī¸
We cannot control what Fate ultimately brings us. đ
But we can control how we decide to face our Fate. â¤ī¸
As you go through your day, ask yourself:
– Right now, what is within my control? đ¤
– Right now, what is outside my control? đ¤
– Right now, what can I do with what’s in my control? đ¤
Keep the answers you find in mind for the choices you make today. đ
If you’re theistically inclined, you can also remember the words of the Serenity Prayer đ:
“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.” đ
There’s a lot outside our control. đ¯
But where hope is found is through this self-awareness: đ
đ With the decisions we make in the present moment.
đ With how we choose to treat each other.
đ 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. â¯ī¸
One cannot exist without the other. âī¸
Consider this post a part of the light that’s coming your way. âī¸
