Understand What You Can Control (Very Little) And What You Cannot (All The Rest)

One of the hardest lessons I have ever had to learn was how little I actually control.

Because I thought I had much greater control than I actually had, I worked very hard to make everything and everyone behave correctly. My attempts to control encompassed almost every aspect of my life, from how the people closest to me behaved to how drivers on the road behaved to the incompetence of our political leaders. As you can see, I had lots to control requiring a great deal of effort.

Unfortunately, when all those people did not behave as they should, I felt no small amount of stress. The stress of course, was totally unnecessary.

At some point, it occurred to me that most of my stress was caused by my effort to change things that were beyond my control. Once having made this discovery, I tried focusing on those things I could control - my own thoughts and actions and letting go of those things I couldn't control - just about everything else.

This epiphany was the beginning of my ability to truly enjoy life.
