I am a huge proponent of focusing on that which we have control over, which can often seem like very little. I could sit and create a list, a very long list, that specifies all the things out of my hands. It would seem neverending, and it would be frustrating and overwhelming. It would leave me feeling powerless, which is absolutely false. We have this amazingly perfect control within our lives, and it comes in the form of thoughts and behaviors. We can never control other peoples thoughts and behaviors, and that can be extremely frustrating. We have to fight the urge to wallow, and focus on the things we cannot change. That way of thinking is toxic and will seep into your well being and poison you. We must remember that this is not our circus, and these are not our monkeys. With that being said, we all have our own show in the circus, and we are completely capable of making it the best damn show there is! A show with vibrancy, excitement, and joy. We must focus on adjusting the things within our own show that aren't going so well, but avoid critiquing the other acts in the circus.
On this Motivational Monday, remember to consciously release the things that are beyond your control, and revel in that which you do have power over. Be in awe of the things you can alter within your own life, because self growth is a beautiful thing!
This is not my circus but I do have an act in this fabulous show and it will be mine, and it will be great!
