Sorry, But You Need To Focus On The Things That You Can Control
“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power or our will. ” (Epictetus)
Your suffering comes down to the fact that you focus on things that you cannot control.
You focus on the following:
Events
Circumstances
The Past
Genetics
People’s opinions and beliefs
What has placing your focus and attention on these things that you cannot control done for you? The answer is absolutely nothing.
Not only has it done absolutely nothing for you, but it has also made you get worse from all perspectives, as a result.
Your focus on the things that you cannot control has destroyed the quality of your life at the subconscious level.
You react to everything and everyone around you.
You feel a constant sense of nagging anxiety.
You struggle to sleep.
Your health slowly, but surely goes down the drain because of your chronic stress.
