There are some things we cannot change, cannot influence. These are not in our Personal Power Sphere. Energy, time and effort invested in this space will go a waste. We can make a difference only while working in the space where we CAN do something. This means accepting that everything is not in our control.
Yes! We can direct our time and energy to get the results we want, to be the kind of people we want to be, and influence what is in our control. We can use our Personal Power Sphere to empower ourselves and make a difference in various aspects of our lives.
And if we wish to stop the wars in the world, clean up the oceans, make the air fresh and crisp, we will still need to do what we CAN do within our Personal Power Sphere though these might seem like tiny steps given the magnitude of the issues.
What aspects are beyond our control?
Events happening around us – The world keeps changing, the scenarios across the world are different every day. We cannot control what’s happening out there. What we can do is in the sphere available to us.
The Past – By definition, past = “gone by in time and no longer existing”. Simply put, there is nothing that can be done about what happened in the past. Those events might disturb us, but any difference we can make can only be in our present actions.
Other people’s opinions, thoughts and actions – Everyone has their opinions and thoughts. People’s actions are based on many factors beyond our control. There is not much we can do about the way others think, behave and act ! We can however improve OUR own thoughts, behaviours and actions !
Future events, what is in store for us – We can do the best we CAN and hope that things turn out the way we want them to, but there’s no guarantee that all will be the way we want it to be! After all, who has seen the future? The results of our actions, whether desirable or undesirable, are not truly in our control.
All we can control is what we do in the present. That is where our Power lies.
