We are constantly wrestling with the concept of controlling our lives. What we forget, however, is that control is fear-based and that the things we do have control over are limited.

If we were to keep living with this false belief, our relationships with ourselves and others can become corroded. Instead, we should live in a constant state of acceptance. Learning to accept that some things are out of our reach. All we have to do is do our best in life and go with the flow.

In all of the situations that we face, we do NOT have control over other people's actions and words. We do NOT have control over their choices, whether they are positive or negative.

We only can control the way we think, react, and the choices we make. Even if they aren't the choices we wanted to make, and we acted out of anger and other external forces got in the way of our thinking, we still have control in making a change. We have the power to make peace with situations and people in our minds. We have the choice to live with freedom.

Our thoughts are compelling, in ways that we tend to forget. Our thoughts are what drive our actions as human beings. Our thoughts become of us. They define who we really are; messy, contradictive, beautiful, vulnerable, confusing humans.

With that in mind, if we were to practice conjuring up positive thinking, don't you think that makes you the driver's seat of your own life? Isn't that enough control?

Life is a wonderful yet mysterious journey. We constantly wonder why we are here, sometimes struggling with balancing our emotions and old habits. Time passes through our fingers. The only true power we have are the words we say, the actions we take, and the choices we make to live a positive, fulfilling life.

Yes, we all want to make a difference during our time on Earth; I can only hope, but it all starts with you and how you perceive the push and pull we call life. Whatever you give out, you shall receive, and if you aren't getting what you wish for, keep trying. The Universe is listening if you tune into it.

It's time to manifest the life you've been wanting.
