Topic Tuesday...on Wednesday LOL: To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? This is a powerful question. Why? Because as most of you know, I spend a lot of time putting together words of encouragement, motivation, and love on a daily basis. I started looking at my past more closely and my answer for this question was “Yes, you do have control over your life” then the afterthought……. What about those times when I lost control over every aspect of my life? Marriage, work, relationship with my brothers, and son at one point. This has brought me to a place where I have to say, “ Well, No….we do not have control over “most” aspects of our lives…… Why only “most aspects”? Well here is the score….. we can control “our” actions and “our” reactions, but we can’t control what happens in the world around us OR the people that walk in and out of our lives. It is easy for me to see that if you aren’t somewhat centered or found a place of serenity inside of you that these “outside” factors could affect who we are! So without some kind of anchor, we are constantly changing based on everything that surrounds us!! How do we cope with this? I know is will be a tough one, but the only way to weather these outside changes is to shake the idea of having 100% control! A plan for your life is just that…..”A Plan”. Things are constantly changing which in turn changes the trajectory of that plan from the day it was launched. So expecting things to happen exactly the way you want it to is setting yourself up for “disappointment and frustration”. This revelation resurfaced a saying that my Grandmother used to tell me, “ You want to hear God laugh? Tell him what your plans are”! That being said……You know me…..here comes the pick me up!!! Lol Michael Jordan once said, “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” So I will wrap this up by saying this…….There is what happens to us and then there is what we do to overcome and excel !! Unless God stops it, the sun will rise tomorrow!! Be flexible and stay encouraged! -Sirquon #qzloungesession #topictuesday #FindYourCenter
