12 Focus Your Attention on Your Freedoms, Rather than Your Limitations

Life isn’t fair . . . there’s nothing you can do about it . . . it isn’t up to you. Moms and dads tend to beat these mantras into their children’s heads as if there were some secret Mommy and Daddy Handbook that instructed them to do so. What your folks forgot to explain is that you always have a choice—a choice in how you respond to what’s before you. Even when you can’t do or say anything to change a difficult situation, you always have a say in your perspective of what’s happening, which ultimately influences your feelings about it.

Many times you can’t change a situation or even the parties involved, but that doesn’t mean it’s time for you to give up. When you find yourself thinking that you have no control, take a closer look at how you are reacting to the situation itself. Focusing on restrictions is not only demoralizing—it helps negative feelings surface that confirm your sense of helplessness. You must take accountability for what you have control over, and focus your energy on remaining flexible and open-minded in spite of the situation.
