Life in general has been fairly uncontrollable in the last three years, you will agree with me.
Sometimes our own life feels like a trap, and it doesn't help that we are witnessing the world being flooded, burned and deforested in front of our very eyes.
However, in the name of stubborn optimism, and the amazing work you do as a change-maker and thought leader, you need to refocus.
What are you actually in control of?
Because there is a lot more that you can do if you feel empowered and strong.
Look at the picture below and ask yourself:
- Who and what can I control?
- Who and what can I influence?
- What can I do about the rest?
You'll get to the conclusion that there is in fact a lot you can control in YOU (thoughts, actions, behaviours, beliefs...).
You can influence (but not control) others and situations around you.
And there is a lot you can't do anything about.
I invite you to journal the three questions and put together a plan of action for the future as a function of that.
