Take control of your life

We have limited control of our career, the views of others about you, your children, your spouse, the economy, world hunger, pollution, and so on. However, we can control over our attitude toward our own lives and the people around us. We have the freedom to choose how we feel regardless of the circumstances. We cannot feel sad and become angry without our permission. Happiness is truly a state of mind. True happiness stems from gratitude, non-attachment to possession, relationship, status, money or power, compassion, and absence of comparison. It’s true that it is difficult to remain happy after a job loss, separation, or any adversity. However, we must stay positive, focused, and flexible as everything continues to change. Certainty seldom exists.

Stay Positive - See life as challenging, dynamic, and filled with opportunities. Find something joyful in your life , a quiet walk in a park , a romantic evening by the fire, a peaceful night with bright stars above, an insightful conversation with loved ones, recognitions for contributions or a job well done. Positive thinking in your ability will transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.

Stay Focused – Stay the course, knowing where are heading. Avoid multiple tasking if possible. It’s hard to juggle too many things at a time.

Stay Flexible - Open Yourself Up To New Possibilities – Seek Insights . Let go of our ego to allow us to see the big picture
