How many times in your life have you been in a hopeless situation where you felt confused and helpless? Many times, right?
Yes! Can you remember the number of times you've lost control to worrying? You can'
Did you ever get yourself out of any of those situations either by worrying or by trying to influence things which totally out of your control? I don't think so.
Next time you find yourself in such a situation, do this.
Instead of worrying about conditions you have little or no control over, give all your energy, time and other resources you own, to things you can influence and control. In other words, focus on the circle of control.
Where problems are, so also are opportunities to solve them and open doors to greater things and growth
Focusing on the circle of control is a growth mindset that gives a clearer understanding of a problem, sharpens creativity and increases productivity.
So, in the midst of conditions or near hopeless situations, instead of caving in to worries and becoming trapped in the circle of concern, find out the possibilities you have and what you really have under your control.
