Everyone wants to be able to control something or sometimes everything, we like the feeling of things going exactly how we want or being in charge of any situation going on in our lives.

Well here’s a bummer, that’s impossible, in fact the things we can actually control in our lives are much lesser than the ones we do not and we have a hard time coming to terms with this. We want to control how we look, how others think of us and every situation that is of direct or indirect value to us.

We want to be the boss of our our lives forgetting how unpredictable life can be, just when you think “Oh yes! I’m definitely in charge now” something happens that throws you off balance.

There’s one thing that you’ll always be the boss of, and this will give you so much power and understanding that you don’t have to control everything. YOUR MIND, I’m sure you might have read books or seen quotes and articles that tell you about how powerful your mind is, they didn’t lie to you, it’s only as powerful as you make it.

If you really want to control everything which is impossible, maybe what people think of you, first teach your mind that their opinion does not affect you, bad things you didn’t plan for will happen, situations will come that you haven’t been through before that will test your mind, you have to know that the only control that matters is your mind and to stop fussing and worrying over things that you do not have a direct influence, for example the weather, I’ve seen people, me included, that get mad because it’s raining 🙄

Control your mind, that’s a first step in the right direction
