Sometimes I catch myself living in stress, and it shows in my outward reactions – usually not in a good way. One way to reduce stress is to let go of those things that are outside of our control. ‘Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.’ (M.Beattie) So I try to remind myself frequently that if I cannot control something, I also shouldn’t take up the worry about it. Let’s all do this.

Thoughts: Idea #568
I know if you’re reading this that you’re eager to have positive results as an outcome from your efforts to grow and develop. Have you ever thought about where those positive outcomes start? ‘Thoughts create emotions. Emotions determine actions. Actions lead to results.If you want positive results in your day, keep your thoughts positive, by controlling what you read, what you watch, (and) who you spend your time with. Easier said than done but without a challenge, where is the reward?’ (M) It starts with our thinking, and our thinking is influenced by what we read, see, listen to, and who we spend time with. How are you going to influence your thinking today?

Habit: Idea #567
What are the actions that make you who you are? And, are you who you want to be? ‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.’ (W.Durant) If you want excellence, then, you’ll need to practice that every day. If you want grit, you’ll need endurance. ‘Grit is not just a simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest and do it again and again.’ (S.Lewis) Again, building a habit even when it’s hard is what makes great people.
