I stress way too much about things I can't control, and get annoyed over things I should shrug off. It's not healthy!AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398414928556655066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200495080006803235.post-63664453599998468142008-11-26T14:55:00.000-05:002008-11-26T14:55:00.000-05:00I can't agree more. I just finished reading Stephe...I can't agree more. I just finished reading Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and one thing he was talking about was that we have a circle of worry and a circle of control and a circle of influence. Our circle of control sits inside our circle of influence. (Ie: we can directly control some things, and influence even more). But the circle of worry is unrelated to those two.<BR/><BR/>Most people, their circle of worry is bigger than their circle of control--they feel helpless and powerless. The key is to <I>not worry about what you can't control</I>. Which doesn't mean you can't plan and prepare for it, but the thought that there might be a tornado next week shouldn't be something you fret about. You should be fretting (and better yet, doing something about) things you can control--your messy, your skills in a given area--or at least influence.<BR/><BR/>It struck a cord with we because before people always thought it was cold when I would say "I don't care, I can't control that." Now I know that it's not being cold, it's being pragmatic.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, yes, novel to say I totally agree with you!Amanda Congerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02116342707972274503noreply@blogger.com
