What we can’t control

- How others form opinions or make decisions - What people feel or may say about us - External events or decisions made by others

- Feeling hurt or disappointed

- How people react to what we say or do, no matter how carefully we craft or position the message.

- The weather !

What we can control

- Our response to any of the above ...

- How we learn and develop from what we experience

- How long we allow things to drag us down

- How we decide to take care of ourselves

- How we treat other's - Spending time with people who really matter to us Spending our time and energy only on what we can control sounds easy, however is really hard to do. We all worry about what others think, what may or may not happen, or why someone else got that role that you were perfect for. Wasted energy is exhausting and distracting. Find something that will allow these thoughts to flow through without too much pause. Understand more, if something you can learn for next time. Spend your energy on what you can influence and what really matters.

Until next time Lisa
