Know What You Really can and Control and what you cannot

Within our control are our own decisions, opinions, aspiration, desires and the things that repel us. These areas are rightly our concern, because they are directly subject to our influence. They always can pick about the contents and characters of our inner life.

Happiness and freedom start with a clear understanding of one principle : Some things are within our control , and some are not. It is only after they have faced up this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what they can control and what they cannot that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.

Outside our control, however, are such things as what kind of body they have, whether they are born in to a rich relatives or a poor relatives and make it rich and wealthy. How they are regarded by others, and our status in our society. They must recall that those things are externals and are therefor not out concern. Trying to control or to change what they cannot only results in torment.

Recall: That if you think that you have free rein over things that are naturally beyond your control, or if you attempt to adopt the outer affairs of others as your own, Your PURSUITS will be thwarted & you will become a Frustrated, Anxious, & Fault Finding person
 The things within our powers are naturally at our disposal, free from any restraint or hindrance; but those things outside our power are weak dependent, or determined by the whims & bad actions of others.
