IF YOU CAN ’ T CONTROL IT , JUST OBSERVE IT
25
There are a lot of things in life and in your business that you can ’ t control . You can ’ t control what other people do . Or what they don ’ t do . You can ’ t control what regulations come down the pike . Or what happens to the economy . Or who or what wins ’ elections . ( Brexit , the US presidential election , etc .) So , what can you do ? Focus on those things that you can control . Fix the problems that you can fix . And for everything else , stand back and be an observer . As best you can , remove your emotional stake in those things you cannot control . If you are able to take this liberating attitude , you ’ ll notice your anxiety lessons ten-fold . You ’ ll be calmer , you ’ ll think more clearly and you ’ ll get more done . And you ’ ll be happier . One more thing – when you ’ re calmer , clear-headed and feeling positive , you ’ ll begin to see solutions to problems that previously seemed insurmountable . And you ’ ll discover you can control more things in life than you thought you could . Only then can you begin to truly make a difference in the world .
