Control

A friend writes: “I spend innumerable minutes daily reminding myself to worry about what I can control and to let the rest take care of itself.”

My friends words struck home. There are a lot of things I can control, but there are just as many I can’t. How about you?

Unlike my friend, I still spend way too much time worrying about things I can’t control, and not enough time on the things I can. How about you?

Perhaps today would a good day to list and resolve to remedy the things I can control, and to not worry so much about the things I can’t control.

As my good friend Louisa says about matters out of our control, “It just doesn’t do to think about.”
