Does this question play a number on you?
WHAT DO YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER?
May be, it does….perhaps because you’ve never sat down to evaluate what you actually have control over and what you don’t.

Perhaps, let’s look at some of the things that you absolutely have no control over
Your skin colour
The shape of your head and the rest of your body parts
Your name of baptism and birth
When the sun shines and where it shines and for how long it shines, a day
The moon and when it shines
The rains and when they fall and how powerful they can be or are
The cars and airplanes in the whole world
The colour of the soils
The number of sand-grains
How many plants that grown every day in the world
That list is quite endless, too….you realize that, right?

That’s when we introduce the weighing scale
On one end, you’ll have to put the respective kilograms of the weights (what you have control over)
And on the other end, you’ll have to place there the respective weights of the materials you don’t have control over

Depending on exactly what you want, you get the privilege of making the final decision.
After making that decision, you’ll need to make a way forward, with the decision made….WHERE DO YOU GO FROM THERE?
Are you ready to grab the life you want for yourself, which is sustainable, healthy, one that inspires somebody out there to emulate and take it on?

THE CONTROL IS YOURS, THE DECISION IS YOURS ONLY TO MAKE AND THE LIFE IS YOURS TO LIVE.
Love this! It’s so important to focus on the things we have control over and not get hung up on things that we cannot control.
Aaaawww…..thank you, Karina. If you say so! ?❤️?
That is so true! We don’t have control over anything except our thinking.
Ooooohhhh…..thank you, Rabiya! If you say so. ?❤️?
I like how you for matted this post. And your questions, they do make you stop and reflect.
Thanks for sharing.
Ooooohhhhh….thank you for appreciating! ?❤️?
I do believe we have control over everything in our lives. It’s what we choose to focus our power on that makes us strong individuals. If you forget to focus on one aspect of life, you may feel as though you’re powerless in that sector of your life, but that’s not true what so ever.
Aaaahhhhh…..alright Gigi! Thanks for sharing. ?❤️?
Very inspiring words, thank you for sharing! ?
?? you’re welcome.
Housekeeping is my issue. The more I clean the worse it looks so I’m going to try some of your ideas.
Aaaaahhhhh….that’s alright, too. Please do try it and see if there is any difference. Best of luck, Denise!
Another lovely post. You always remind me what is important.
?? aawww….I’m glad I do just that.
We definitely can’t control everything in life. But where we put on focus when it comes to what we can can make a huge difference. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this 🙂
???? you’re welcome.
I learned early on that it does me no good to worry about things I can’t control. It’s too easy to forget there are things we can control and not worry about.
?????? good for you!
Bravo! We have so much control, more than we may think to improve our lives.
???? indeed!
Life can be tough. One of the things that has helped me overcome things in life is to focus on my life destiny and not my birth destiny. I wasn’t born rich so I can’t pay things by simply writing a check. I have to work hard for my money to be able to afford our bills.
?? I love you more for acknowledging this about you.
Your posts are always so uplifting and filled with deep thoughts. If you CANNOT control it, DON’T sweat it. Move on. Use that energy on something that you can control.
Aaawww….thank you, Myrah!
I love what’s on the note to self. Because that’s what I live by. I know there’s so much I’m not in control of, but thankfully God is!
???? can I? an Amen to That?
It’s all about mind over matter. It also helps if you focus yourself with positive things. No negative things as much as possible.
???? you have that right!
Your post caused me to do a lot of reflecting. Beautifully written and so inspirational!
???? I am glad to hear that,
Such an eye opener. We must focus on those things that we can change/control. It would be for our best benefit if we do that. I like that “Note to Self.” So very true. Do what you can, trust God and surrender to His Will.

I believe there are some things in life we can’t control but how we think and do things is something we have control over. Interesting read and quite eye-opener as well.
Of course. Whatever we can control or watch, we have the power in our hands to do so!
We have control over our thoughts and own personal actions but not always how things are set up. We should focus on what we can control more.
