control what you can control

There’s a lot in this life that seems out of my control. I could easily spend my time in frustration, whining about and bemoaning those things while making everyone around me miserable as usual :)… but instead, I’m trying to take responsibility and ownership of whatever I can control.


  • I can't control problems that pumps into my way but I can control my frustration and try to seek for the solution.

  • I can’t control how other people behave, but I can control how I react when they do…

  • I can't control the difference between me and my husband but I can control my temper and try to go for compromise.

  • I can't control leaving the friends and seperation but I can control me by keeping contact with them and bw with them and visit them.

  • I can’t control who becomes our next president, but I can vote and encourage others to do the same.

  • I can’t control grocery prices, but I can be more vigilant about my shopping practices and meal preparation to get the best deals and keep our bill as low as possible.

  • I can’t control the weather, but I can rearrange my schedule so we can enjoy every possible minute outside before the nasty cold sets in. I can also make the most of our time inside with fun projects .

  • I can’t control the economy (which is too bad for all of us, because let me tell ya about the economic crisis) but I can react to it appropriately & try to work a plan to save the boat.

  • I can’t control my husband’s income, but I can carefully steward it and stretch it to meet our needs.

  • I can’t control accidents, but I can do my best to keep my family healthy by taking care of foods, exercising , making sure we all get enough sleep, and keeping germs at bay.

  • I can’t control how busy we are… oh, wait! Sure I can! Ever heard of saying NO?!? (I know, I know, that doesn’t work in every situation, but we are all gifted with the same 24 hours in a day…)

  • I can’t fix all, cure all, mend all, be all… so I’ll just control what I can control. It works for me.

  • I can't control our lifes but i can appreciate the moment we live.

As there are always options more positive than complaining or doing nothing.
Another thing that works for me? A prayer !That !give hope to know how to control :)))
