Why Does Your Approach to Life Matter?
Your approach is a choice that determines if you merely survive, simply exist, or thrive.
The status quo never lasts. Never.
That’s because change is the one and only constant in the Universe. Like it or not, work with it or ignore it, you cannot avoid it. Change can, will, and does happen. Recognizing this is huge. Accepting it is even larger.
Everything you know is subject to change. If you don’t believe it, apply it to yourself. Are you who you were as a child? How many ways do you differ today from who you were 10 years ago? Both of these examples come from the same thing. Change.
Because of the inevitability of change, there are some large limits on the number of things we can control. Most, if not all those things, are within us. Then, to add insult to injury, society tends to recommend focusing on everything outside of us rather than what’s within.
Before you know it, you’re so inundated with people, places, and things apart from yourself that you yourself take a backseat, and/or are treated with less importance by you, yourself. It’s surprisingly easy to lose who you are and cede the control that’s yours as a part of this.
