176: Control
Today we are using an Epictetus quote to talk about control. Control is an elusive and fickle thing because the more control we believe we have over our things and situation in life, often means the less control we have. All we can really control are our actions. Somethings we cannot even fully control our thoughts. Look no further to that annoying song many of us get stuck in our heads. The more we try to be in control, the more we open ourselves to disappointment.
So today I challenge you to not get caught up trying to be in control, just enjoy the day and focus on your actions and reactions.

153: to be broken, is to be human
Yes, you may be going through a difficult situation, maybe you feel like it cannot change, however I am here to tell you that it will and it can. The important thing is to allow a shift in mindset to see this difficulty as a challenge to help you get better. You do not have to deal with this change alone, you can reach out the those around you that you feel like you can trust and talk to them. Heck, this is part of the reason I offer coaching. So that I can help be the support you may need, but I can only help you if you tell me whats going on. The same goes for those who are close to you. If you want help, you need to ask for it. Don't be afraid, be are all broken.

After all, look at Roger Bannister, before him, we thought it was an impossibility to run a 4-minute mile. Or when we the cold war sparked the space race. Before then getting to the Moon seemed impossible, now scientists are looking at manned missions to Mars.
With that said, is anything truly impossible? No, because YOU are possible.

158: Do what is right
Yes you want to stay true to yourself so you do not tilt and windmills. However if you remain obstinate in the face of everyone pushing back, you may be the one in the wrong. Stay true to yourself, but understand the importance of self reflection. No one is right 100% of the time.

157: Allowing confidence
Nor is confidence innate, instead it is something you can build, and even get better.
Sometimes it can be a difficult skill to acquire, however, if you have a strong Why to anchor to, it becomes easier to build up your confidence.
It is equally important that we take the time to communicate our points well because if we cannot do that the confidence can easily be seen as cockiness.

151: Conquering the world
Before we can focus on conquering the world, we need to first conquer ourselves.
In order to do this, you need to look inside ourselves, to understand our Why for doing things, then understand a little bit more about the goal in mind. This all pertains to us and all the fun mindset stuff we talked about on a daily basis, after this soul searching is finished we can then start to focus on conquering our goal.

149: Life is a mountain
I have said this before and I'll say it again, life is a journey, it's an adventure, it's something that is ever changing. This metaphor (well technically simile) that life is like a mountain, is so very true.
Take the time to think about it, where you on your mountain today? Are you at the peak, the valley, or somewhere in between? There's no value judgment associated with where you are. Just think about where you are, assess and move forward, that's all we can do.

147: Black, white and gray all over
In some parts in our lives, we will need very hard-and-fast rules, however, in other cases, we need the freedom to make decisions that are not dependant upon those rules. As we change and grow those hard-and-fast rules may change with us bringing in other ones, and it's important to be flexible when we can.
Just like water, some days we may be hard as ice, and other days we may need to flow through a river bed. The action needed in each situation will change with the seasons.

146: The true source of wealth
It's important to note that true wealth does not come from what we can purchase, but instead it comes from the experiences that we have. A poor man can be wealthy if he has the right mindset, and a rich man can be poor if he has the wrong one.
146: Internal happiness
Happiness is not about getting everything we want, when we want it. Happiness is about experiencing life and having the attitude of gratitude necessary to appreciate the things that go away and even the things that don't.
When we can have an attitude of gratitude we are able to become happy regardless of the obstacles that end up in our path.

145: Is it right, is it true?
This quote serves as a litmus test for action. When we are contemplating what to do, all we need to ask is: "Is it right; is it true?"
If one of those responses is in the negative, then we tweak our action until we get affirmative responses.
Easy, peasy! 😃

142: We communicate with action
Many of us have heard the old adage, "it's not about what you say, but how you say it."
Today we take that idea to its logical conclusion to encompass not only how others actions matter, but our actions to ourselves matter just as much. Often time when we try and live up to what we say, we do not include how and what we promise to ourselves. We focus on doing for others at the sake if doing for ourselves.
I would argue that this is a huge oversight.
What are your thoughts on the matter?

141: Struggle is not failure
140: strength in community
139: Broken, but not beaten
138: smile at trouble
137: A hero's journey
136: Words carry weight
Today we are focusing upon the the weight that words carry. Regardless of if they are in print, on social media or in between our ears. Our words can be the force keeping us from changing or what is holding us back from taking the next step.
Think about that for a second, even the words you say to yourself can keep you for sticking to your goals. The next time you think that you are not good enough think again. Because you are good enough, you are worth it and you can make the difficult choices that need to be made to help you reach your goals.

135: One step at a time
134: Allow yourself to live
Today we are talking a look at a Marcus Aurelius quote to think about the concept of allowing yourself to live. Allow yourself try and to fail. Because that is where the beauty of life comes from. When were are able to grow and become better we allow ourselves to live. If we are afraid and do not step out of what is comfortable, how can we live and get better?
