I love and accept that there are some situations that I cannot control

I love and accept that there are some situations that I cannot control

Monday, 30 November 2009 14:28

I let go of my tendency to try to be in control of everything. What a relief it is! No longer do I have to be responsible for everything. It is much easier to focus on what I can control, instead of worrying about the things I cannot control anyway!

What can I control? I can control my own thoughts and actions. I can control how I react to events. And I can control my expectations.

When I focus on what I can control, I find that I become more effective. Instead of fretting over a challenge, I seek solutions and take action on my decisions.

Instead of worrying about what others will think, I live true to my own morals, ethics, and beliefs. In being true to myself, I strengthen my self-esteem.

Rather than bemoan a situation, I take whatever action I can to make things better. Taking decisive action reduces my stress about the situation and gives me hope for a better day ahead.

I accept that I cannot control the actions of others and I prefer it that way. Truly, how complicated life would be if I had the responsibility of controlling and directing everyone!

Simply letting go of the need to control takes the weight of the world off my shoulders.

Today, I plan to accept whatever the day brings, do what I can where I can, and let the rest go!

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I get frustrated at situations beyond my control?

2. How can taking decisive action reduce my stress about a current challenge?

3. What can I do to let go of something out of my control?

I approached the Kaizen Challenge at first very skeptically mainly due to the fact that I have already started reading self improvement books and though I know it all already. I had some successes but mainly failures (and mostly in terms of money). I never realized why as I thought as I exhibiting the right behaviors and Read more...

n Tydtjie terug het ek besef dat ek die verkeerde drome nagejaag het en dat waar ek was as gevolg van my eie toedoen was. Ek het besef dat ek bestem was vir iets groter en beter. Hierdie konstante gevoel van onvervuldheid en soeke na antwoorde het my gelei tot die bywoning van Hannes se inligtingssessie Read more...

Wealth Insight 2009-12-18 We think about money so much. But what do we think about? How much we have. How much we need. How much we want. We only see it from that point of view. And I would say, this is not enough. Considering how much of our time it takes up, we should know it better. Why? Because it isn’t just there. Like a mountain. Or the sea. People made it. People manage it. It’s not perfect. It’s not neutral. It’s not like a force of... Read more...

Am I rich yet?? This is a question I wrote down a few weeks before I started the Kaizen Challenge. And the answer I wrote down to the question was this: No. I am not rich yet, in the sense of being financially independent, but boy - do I live a life of abundance! Now that I have done the Kaizen Challenge? Read more...
