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.
