The Illusion of Control


                                         (Photo from Pinterest)


I love this photo because it is a great reminder of so many things!

I have had an unbelievable 3 days with so much out of my control, including my hair!  I have had a bad hair day when I needed a really good hair day. 

So, what is in my control.  Very, very little.  I can do what I can do, when I can do it and I can do it with a good or bad attitude. 


Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.
Steve Maraboli


So, now, I am going to do what I can, with a good attitude, and try to do something with my out of control hair!!

  1. Reminds me of a quote that my mother had posted on her refrigerator for years, "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."

  2. Love the picture! :) And I love the fact that we can choose to have a good attitude about the things we can and can't control. And then above all, trust God. :)
