How many times have you wasted time trying to control things that are out of your control?
And how many times have you wanted a person to react in another way or to change what happened in the past?
I know this feeling perfectly, as I have spent time trying to control things that were out of my control and getting angry at myself for not succeeding.
But I want to tell you something that can change the way you view things.
In life, there are some things you can control and some that we just have to accept because they are beyond our control. And that’s absolutely okay!
You see, there are things that happen because they have to happen and we can’t simply change them. This is life. We are human and as much as we try to have control over everything, this is simply not possible.
The only thing we can do in these situations is to control the way we react to these outcomes.
Once you accept this, you can direct your focus to the things you can actually control.
I assure you that there are many things you have power over, starting from relationships, from your goals, to how you react to certain situations to designing your dream life.
In this post we will see what are the 50 things you can control in life and over which you have 100% power in your hands.
