What You DO Have Power Over
“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control
of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you
don’t.” – Steve Maraboli
We
don't have control over other people. We don't have control over
events. Sometimes we don't have any control at all. You do have control
over yourself. You do have the ability to make powerful changes in your
life. Even what we perceive as too much, too big, or too many can be
done using my "millimeter" approach to change. People look at the big
picture, and they think, "I can't get THERE! I don't even know how." But
when you think about it in daily steps and slowly each day move toward
it in "millimeter" steps before you know it, you're there. Big picture
thinking is visionary. Millimeter thinking is like the jigsaw puzzle to
that big vision. Each day put a piece in place. As each piece goes into
place the big picture becomes clearer and more precise. Even if it's a
500 piece puzzle, a piece a day always eventually leads to the completed
project -- it just might take 500 days. Remember, you have the power.
You have the ability. You have control over what YOU do. With that
self-empowerment and a great vision, you can get there a millimeter at a
time.
