Eliminate the If Only

In order to take more control of your life, get rid of the phrase “if only….then…”. Especially when that “if only” has another person involved. If only my spouse would …, then we would be happier. If only my boss would…, then I would enjoy my job more. Instead of putting your happiness in someone else’s hands, take control of your own happiness. You control your reactions and your life. Don’t let others take control. Challenge for the week: Reflect on your current situations. Do you have any “if only” situations? How can you turn them around where you are in control and taking responsibility for your life?
