Focus on the things you CAN change

by Sam Radford on June 29, 2009

How much of your time are you giving to things you can realistically do nothing about? It is so easy to waste copious amounts of time focussing on issues and situations that are beyond the realms of our control.

This is what happens when we give too much place to worry and anxiety. They end up pulling us away from the areas where we can actually do something and focus our minds in the wrong places.

I’ll be the first to admit the focus isn’t something that comes the easiest to me. Some people have this as a natural, innate talent. Not me. And maybe not you. But that doesn’t mean we can afford the luxury of focussing on the wrong things. The truth is that we are all focussing on something. The challenge is to make sure we place our focus in the right areas.

What are some things that you could actually change this week if you really focussed on it? What steps could you take to move forward rather than moving backwards by worrying about things you can’t change?

Focus on the things you can do something about.
