208 \\ Signs You Might Be a Control Freak | How to Release Control and Let Things Go

Many people are working overtime, trying to change things that they cannot change. You have to accept the fact you can't control everything. The only thing you can control 100% of the time is your attitude. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond. If somebody hurts you, you can't control that. It's over and done, but you can control whether or not you get offended, or if you were to get a negative medical report. You can't control that, life happens, but you can control whether or not you live upset and discouraged. Next time you're tempted to be frustrated, offended, stressed out, remind yourself, that's a part of the 10%. You can't control that, but you can control how you respond. Start passing the test. Don't keep letting the same things upset you year after year, the same people get on your nerves.   Every day is a gift from God. We're not always going to be here. Once this day is over, we can never get it back, and your time is too valuable to waste it upset in traffic, offended at a neighbor, frustrated at a child, worried about your health, discouraged because a dream is taking so long. You can't control those things. If that was going to keep you from your destiny, God would have never permitted it. Start passing the test. Don't allow yourself to be upset. Quit being upset over things that you have no control over. Quit trying to change things that you cannot change. Worry less, trust more. Stress less, laugh more, love more, enjoy more. Until next time,  Stay blessed!   xo, Juliana   P.S.-Check out the Courage Co. virtual community over at www.courageco.org and join us for free challenges, prayer calls and more!
