18 Mar Susan’s Sound Advice #486
Even when you think you are living a predictable life, anything could change in a heartbeat. The only constant in this life is that it will involve change, and try as you may to control your future, really all you can do is trust that whatever happens, you can adapt and make the best of it. It doesn’t matter that you can’t control your external environment. Controlling how you react is much more important. In other words, you determine your happiness by controlling your “internal” environment. And that is because if you control how you react to life’s curveballs, you control your reality. You will realize that you have the skills and strength to brave any situation. Controlling how you react is really all that matters. I have seen people who have undergone extreme poverty and physical disease. Some react by giving up; others use their hardship as motivation to succeed and prosper. Start focusing on controlling your internal environment and you will see how much power you gain knowing you CAN handle any situation that comes your way.
