No matter how hard you try and be the architect of your life, things will happen. That is life....nothing new there. As hopefully most of you are acutely aware, we cannot control everything ..... whatttttt?????
By the way Kudos to you if you have figured it out already ... it took me many decades on this planet to learn that.
Yup, hard as we try, we are not in the drivers seat of this wonderful journey we call life. We cannot control others thoughts, emotions, choices, beliefs, ideas, etcetera...... we cannot even control many of the things that happen in our own life despite our many attempts at trying.
What we can control is how we respond, react and choose to show up. Those things are under our control.
When life throws you a curve ball, you can resist, wonder why, wonder how and so on, generally that does not help the issue at hand. Time and time again I have learned the sooner I give in re evaluate and readjust the sooner that gnawing, burning, frustrating feeling in my gut disappears and peace reappears.
The older I get the more I value peace as my resting state.
I admit, some days are easier than others to give in ....... those are the days when my choices are more wise :-). PS. Giving in does not mean giving up by any stretch. It means maybe it is time to stop fighting reality and find a better way and figure out what is truly important and how to best honor that.
As usual it is the small steps in shifting your mindset that will lead to bigger things :):):)
