Us humans have a tendency to want to be in control
Control of what our kids do, how we look, what we do, for things to go well
But what happens? Getting let down, emotionally reactive…
A perfect way to learn what we can control in life and what we can.t
What’s inside our circle of control and what isn’t
The thing is – we can only really control our minds. How we think about things.
We could be struck with an illness or lose a limb, thrown in jail, kidnapped, or whatever.
Scary? Or good?
Well, it depends on how you look at it. If you can’t control anything then why even try?
Or the good news is that we only really have one thing to focus on throughout our days: controlling how we perceive the world and what we choose in the movement.
And there’s clarity with that simplicity, maybe the thing to strive for.
We have one item on our list – choosing wisely – while they have a million things to do.
