In reality we have control over very little in the world. Even so, the control we DO have over our thoughts, our words and our actions gives us access to considerable power.
Today we are going to tap to help us to focus on those things we can control and to appreciate how powerful they are in changing our life and changing the world.
I Am Going To Focus On What I Can Control Today
(audio 4m35s)
There are so many things in this world…That are outside of my control…I don’t control other people’s thoughts…I don’t control other people’s choices…I don’t control the traffic I encounter as I drive…I don’t even control the weather…And all of these things impact me…They impact the opportunities I have…They impact what’s in front of me at this moment…They give me opportunities…And sometimes they limit opportunities…But it does not serve me to concentrate on that…I need to acknowledge it…I need to appreciate it…I need to respond to it…But what is much more important…Is that I focus on the fact…That there are things that I can control…And when I control my thoughts…When I control my emotions…When I control my actions…I can do amazing things…Even though that feels like such a small amount…That I can use and leverage for anything…It really does make a big difference…Everything that was ever created in the world…Every beautiful piece of art…Every scientific achievement…Every world-changing invention…All came from individuals using the small amount they could control…Simple choices added up…Grow into big things…Today I’m going to give my energy and my intention…Only to the things that I control…I will recognize the things I don’t control…I will respond to the things I don’t control…But I will act from the things I do control.
