What are you fighting that you cannot change?
I think we make life harder than it needs to be because we spend so much energy fighting things we were never going to control in the first place.
Think about how often we do this.
It rains and we complain. Traffic slows down and we get angry. Someone behaves differently than we think they should and we allow their actions to change our entire emotional state.
But what did any of that accomplish?
The rain still fell. Traffic still moved slowly. That person still made their own choices.
The only thing that changed was our energy.
I have learned that peace comes from understanding the difference between what I can influence and what I cannot. I cannot choose someone else’s actions, but I can choose my response. I cannot change what has already happened, but I can influence what happens next. I cannot always choose the circumstances, but I can choose the energy I bring into them.
That is where your power has always been.
So today, when something frustrates you, stop for a moment and ask yourself one simple question.
Can I influence this?
If you can, take action.
If you cannot, stop giving it your energy.
Life does not become easier because everything suddenly starts going your way. Life becomes easier when you stop demanding that it does.

What if you are not stuck?
Feeling stuck is rarely a lack of ability, motivation, or strength. Most people believe they are lazy because they are not moving forward, but that is usually not the truth.
In my experience, people do not get stuck because they lack energy. They get stuck because their energy is being consumed in the wrong direction.
Every day we create thoughts. Those thoughts generate emotions. Those emotions influence our actions. Those actions create our results. When we allow fear, doubt, worry, resentment, judgment, and internal conflict to dominate our thinking, we create catabolic energy that drains us. We spend so much energy fighting ourselves that there is little left for growth.
Many people are not standing still because they are weak. They are standing still because they are caught in an internal battle. They want one thing but believe another. They desire change but fear the uncertainty that comes with it. Their energy is divided.
The good news is that the solution is not finding more power. The power already exists within you.
The first step is awareness. Pay attention to the thoughts you repeatedly allow into your mind. Ask yourself whether they are creating energy or draining it. Then begin replacing the thoughts that create fear and limitation with thoughts that create responsibility, gratitude, compassion, possibility, and action.
What you think frequently becomes your frequency.
When you shift your thoughts, you change your emotions. When you change your emotions, you change your actions. When you change your actions, your results begin to change.
You are not stuck.
You are simply redirecting your energy from resistance toward creation.

This tiny hand is the reason my world has changed.. my days, my nights, my everything now revolve around her. 29 days since you were born, and I’m running on little to no sleep, feeling like a zombie… but every sleepless night is worth it, just to hold you close and watch you grow.
