My life is filled with a litany of things that I cannot change. Still, I sometimes try to alter the course of events in my life, mostly to no avail. And when I can’t change things, I obsess over them.

What others think of me. The past. The unfairness of life.  

The inability to change things leads to frustration and disappointment. This is no way to life a thriving life. Instead of the things I can’t change, I endeavor to shift my focus to the things that are within my control.

So in the midst of letting go, I’m rescuing myself from a life of futile control. Instead of trying to change the unchangeable, I accept what I can’t change. Yeah, I know . . . easier said than done. But it can be done with the right mindset.
