A mindset shift

I am a passionate person. I often swear whilst driving. I get frustrated in the supermarket. People in general get on my nerves. You get it.

I was going through life with a loveable disdain for even the mildest inconvenience. But it wasn’t making my life better. Until it dawned on me.

I was letting other people control my emotions.

This may sound like a inconsequential revelation, but it is actually quite important. To be the active director of your life, YOU need to be in control and be making the decisions. The more you outsource, the less uniquely you you are. The less interesting, the less thoughtful, the less creative, the less YOU!

When you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, frustrated or mad at someone else, ask, ‘Do I really want to give this person control?’
