Today’s post was sparked by a good friend of mine. We were talking the other day about the way things were in his life. Things that used to be right are wrong and vice versa. The feeling of “out of control” was a norm now and he didn’t know how to get back to normal.

The one big thing I have learned over time is that we have no control over circumstances that we have no control over. Our first instinct is to try to control these outside events or people, only to feel battered even more. What is the only thing that we have control of in our lives you ask? Yes, you are right; we only have control over ourselves and our own thoughts. 

Access your life today and take control of it. You will find when you do, you will breathe better, you will think better and you will feel much better. That’s a fact! There is no better feeling than to be in charge of your own destiny. This way when bad things or events happen, you are more mentally prepared and ready to accept and move on. 

I came across someone else just recently that was having trouble coming up with $300.00. A life of “out of control” put her there. I told her that this was unfortunate and we needed to change her outcome so that she never had that problem again. We are on this new path together. We have that control in life, but we have to take the driver’s seat!

Forgive yourself and take control of your life today. You never know until you try. Life is full of many wondrous things just waiting for you. Stop letting the events that are out of your control take you away from living. I’m here to tell you that living is where the happiness is stored! Happy Wednesday my friends, make it a great day! Today is yours if you decide to claim it! Live freely and enjoy! Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, so glad you could attend…………come in side, come inside!

To do lists, everyone has them. As days and months go on, we add more and more to them. We fill them up all in the name of being busy. The more we get done, the better we feel until exhaustion takes over. Sound familiar in your life? It’s familiar in many of our lives. Getting more and more done becomes a game of survival. The more we do, the more important we feel. Where will it end enters our mind as we don’t look back. 
How do we get out of the spiral of achievement? Take a look at keeping another list called; “The Don’t do list”. This list is the most important thing to get ahead. Why do you ask? It’s because there are many things that you shouldn’t be doing if you would just plan better. The key to “The Don’t do list is to organize and execute around priorities and the most important things in your life. 

When is the best time to start this list? The best time is right after you take a vacation or a few days off. So, today’s thought should not be what I should be doing as much as what I shouldn’t be doing. That thought holds the key to your sanity and happiness! You can always find ways to get back more money, but you can’t ever get back your time! Make it a great day everyone!!
