Meditations on God

At some point in your life, you are going to realize that you have a choice.

You can either focus on the things that are out of your control.

Or you can choose to focus on the things that are in your control.

But it is very difficult, if not impossible, to do both.

The former path is one of distraction, frustration, and resentment.

The latter is a path of contentment, purpose, and peace.

Regardless of which path you choose, life will still happen.

No matter where you choose to direct your focus, you will still experience tragedy, loss, and hardship.

There is no way around this.

By choosing to focus on that which you have control over, you do not stop unpleasant things from happening around you or even to you.

You do, however, stop giving the things that are out of your control the power to control you.

As a result, you will have more energy, more clarity, and more focus for the things that actually matter, and this alone will make your life, or at least your experience of it, better.
