Our days are a series of actions and reactions. My dog decides to eat my shoe. What is my reaction? When I was younger, it would have ruined my day; I would choose to be angry at everyone around me. No excuses, it was a full onslaught of I'm angry and you will feel my wrath for the remainder of the day!
As I've grown older, one thing has changed. I put the proper value in how things affect me. For example, let's go back to my chewed up shoe. What can I ask myself? How do I control it better? It's quite simple, I need to speak my reality into being:
"It's just a shoe."
That's it, strangely enough, a shoe is not worth my thoughts or ruining my day. I control my thoughts, actions, and nothing else. We control nothing outside of us. Keep that in mind, and no matter what happens, just remember: It's just a shoe...
