FORGET CONTROL, FOCUS ON SELF
How much time and energy we expend on trying to control the people around us. From our maids to our drivers, our colleagues and employees to our bosses and clients.
Our time and energy is wasted, we end up frustrated and anxious but they do just what they want.
Instead why not invest all that energy and time on the one person we do have control over - ourselves. Something's not done right in the house, let's take the lead and do it. We're not happy with a pitch, let's rework it. We feel people aren't working hard enough, let's lead by example.
Point is it's our life. If we waste it focussing on what others do or don't do, we're the ones who lose out. If instead we put all our efforts on making what we want happen, we'll find ourselves fulfilled, happy, making the most of the day, energized. And interestingly, that's when magically, people around us also start behaving the way we want .
