What Is In Our Control?
There’s a brutal truth about life that some people refuse to accept—you have no control over many of the things that happen to you such as;
~ Someone that doesn't want to be with us.
~ What other people think of us.
~ People thoughts and feeling.
~ Grievance or Loss.
~ Life just as it is.
~ The Future.
~ The past.
~ Change.
~ Time. etc
But because, we find it difficult to understand the concept of what is and is not in our control, when we seem to not have everything under 'control' we become irritated and aggressive. Which will in turn, cost us our peace of mind, due to persistent worry and anger.
