When I can’t control what’s happening, I challenge myself to control how I respond to what’s happening. This is my power.

This affirmation is a fabulous reminder for times when we feel that all control slips out of our hands and we are tossed around by outside circumstances. We always have choice. How? Well, that statement profoundly speaks to the wisdom of focusing on our internal response when external circumstances are beyond our control. It's a powerful mindset that embodies emotional intelligence and resilience.

When life presents challenges, uncertainties, or unexpected situations, we often feel helpless or get frustrated because we cannot directly change the external events. However, this perspective shifts the focus from what we can't control to what we can always control: our own thoughts, attitudes, and reactions. This is the beauty of this truth, because it works universally, whether we're facing a minor inconvenience or a major life challenge. It's about maintaining our internal focus of control, staying true to our values, and refusing to let external turbulence disrupt our inner peace and calm.

Remember, we can always choose! Our response is a choice!

By consistently choosing wisely, we not only navigate life's challenges more effectively but also gradually shape our character and personal growth, becoming the best version of ourselves possible. I understand, this is challenging because of our pre-conditionings, but it is possible and the slightest change and alternation can completely shift the direction of that ship and where it finally arrives. You hear me referring to this often during your sessions. Don't worry, I need that constant reminder myself, we are only human, right? The "what could have been" doesn't matter, as we know that we can focus on what we can control and we always get to choose. “This is my power.”

Can you relate? What are your personal insights?

Always with love
