Take Control

Many everyday events are unavoidable and beyond
our power to control.

Things like taxes you can complain about, but that
doesn't make them go away. Traffic jams happen,
especially, it seems, when you're running late. Bad
haircuts are a part of life and happen to all of us.

It's better to accept with grace, as part of the journey, the things you cannot control. When tempted to control the uncontrollable, remember, the only thing you know you can always control is your response.

For example, in a traffic jam you can choose to honk your horn and scream, or you can choose to turn on the radio, listen to music, and calmly wait for traffic to clear. When you stop stewing over uncontrollable situations, you keep the vital energy you need to maintain a healthier, happier and in balance you.
