"Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't." Powerful words, Steve Maraboli.

Life is hard- I get it. Even in my own life, there are things that I wish I could control, or people that I wish I could control. Lately, I've been trying to let it go, because after a while, stressing over the things that you can't control will make you go insane, and it will almost always lead to disappointment. There's no sense in worrying about the things we can't control, because, well, we have no control over them. Instead of stressing about the things out of your control, take power of your life and consider all the things you can control.
