“We cannot control the external events around us, but we can control our reactions to them.” – Epictetus

Blaming the struggles we encounter on conditions beyond our control is accepting powerlessness and adopting a victims attitude.
We design life through actions we CAN control. When a situation arises that was not the result of our intentional ACTION; our REACTION, regains control and takes ownership of the result.
Just as a batter has no control over the pitch, THE SWING, is his power.
Learning to recognize external happenings as the catalyst for our creative energy turns adversity into lessons and challenges into growth.
Knowing what we can’t control IS control.
