Controlling What You Can

Source

Too many times, people worry about the things that they cannot change or influence in any way - and this is completely futile. Because while wasting your time thinking of those things that you cannot change, you're distracting yourself from thinking about the things you can change.

And as ironical as it may seem, it's only those people who focus on controlling the things that they can, that start seeing other areas of their life falling into place. Because it's when you maximize your control of what you can - that good things start to happen to you.

But then it begs the question - why do people spend so much time thinking about things that they can't control? And the answer is because people are emotional, and cannot help themselves. For this reason, it's important to master control over your emotions.

In many cases, these people know fully well that they cannot control or influence what they waste their time thinking about in any way, but yet they dwell in those emotions - because in one way or the other those negative emotions are thrilling to them.

And this is the problem, most humans love drama and chaos - and they are drawn to it. But creating wealth requires a plan and structure, and to most people that is boring and not chaotic and dramatic. Thus, controlling what you can in your life, begins by controlling your emotions.
