Why Is This Happening To Me?
Are Circumstances Overwhelming You?
Are Circumstances Beyond Our Control?
There are many situations beyond our
control that we need to be responsible for.
We cannot always control the circumstances around us, but we can be responsible for the decisions that we make.
We need to take responsibility for things
that happen to us, even if it is not our fault.
The more we try to control what happens to us, the less we are in control.
The circumstances beyond our control make us
responsible for everything we have and have not done.
What If The Circumstance Is Someone Else’s Fault?
We should not be blaming others for our bad luck or misfortune
Understand that life is a series of events, some good and some bad
Learn from those events and make better choices in the future
We Constantly Struggle — To Acknowledge That We Don’t Control Anything:
We have a tendency to think that
we are in control of everything.
We feel like we can predict the future and that the future will be just like what we want it to be.
This is a dangerous way of thinking because it gives us a false sense of security
It causes us to make irrational decisions and not take precautions because we think that nothing bad will happen
People struggle with acknowledging that
they don’t control anything. This can lead
to irrational decisions and not taking precautions
because they think nothing bad will happen.
Final Thoughts: Are You Really in Control?
The more we try to control everything, the more
it seems that events are conspiring against us.
We have to learn how to be comfortable with uncertainty, and accept that we don’t control anything.
We are constantly looking for ways
to control our environment.
We want to be in charge of the things that happen to us.
But is it possible?
What if the thing we think is under our control
might actually be beyond it?
What are your thoughts about control?
