Although most of us realize what we control and do not control, we live as though we do not really know, and in some cases we spend years focusing on things we cannot control.

Giving up represents a choice you make when you decide not to take action on something over which you actually do have control.

Your destiny is in your hands. Creating the life you want is only, and always, up to you.

Long-lasting change that will help you create new habits and actions requires an inside-out approach, as well as two very important tools: the mirror and time.

When you accept the fact you have no control and choose not to take any action, you are letting go.

Your behavior is based on your beliefs, and what you do and say, over and over again, helps develop your habits.

When you do not know how to focus your thoughts effectively, they can become scattered, miscellaneous, and fixated on "stuff negative notions, toxic relationships, and situations from the past."
