“Yesterday, I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today, I am wise so I am changing myself.”

• Rumi

In life, our best bet is to focus on controlling the controllable and letting go of the rest.

Too many of us get caught up in wishing things weren’t the way they are.

We direct our energy towards trying to control things that are beyond our sphere of influence.

We wind up draining ourselves of our energy and getting frustrated and let down.

We must have the awareness that the only thing within our control is ourselves. 

Mastering oneself is one of our toughest challenges but also one of our highest accomplishments.

This is where we must direct our energy.
