Know what you can control - and what you can't

Greetings Beloved One,

"How you do something you can control, but how others react is beyond your control!". Yet, how often do we think we can control the way other think, feel, act or react? If they don't give us the answer we seek, or respond in ways we agree with, we keep trying to change them, convince them, or convert them to our way of being, seeing, and doing!

Sometimes, the opposite might occur. We are so sensitive to other's needs, thoughts, and opinions that we are overly concerned when we aren't in alignment with them. We worry that we will offend them, anger them, not have their approval and the like. We are all to ready to give away our power just to please them or prove acceptable to them.

Our author says, "Your integrity deepens when you can say to yourself, - 'I've done my best, and I am happy with that."

. Do you ever find yourself giving away your power?
. Have you ever agreed with someone just to avoid and argument?
.Do you ever feel controlled by someone else and now do you handle that?
. When was the last time you tried to please someone?

Well, make it a free flowing day!
Rev. Sylvia
