We can't control the world, but we can control our reactions to it.

One step at a time is enough for me. Impatience is simply a way of beating yourself up.

Knowing that we can make a difference in this world is a great motivator. How can we know this and not be involved?

We can't control the world, but we can control our reactions to it.

We all create expectations of what we would like to happen after a decision is made. The picture in our mind's eye might have served a valuable function in helping to make a decision. But once the decision is made, let the picture go. Since you can't control the future, the picture can create unhappiness if it's not fulfilled. Disappointment may make you miss the good that can come out of every situation in which you find yourself.

Taking responsibility means not blaming yourself. Anything that takes away your power or your pleasure makes you a victim. Don't make yourself a victim of yourself!
