4 Things You Can’t Control

4 Things You Can't Control

Accept the Things You Can’t Control

Having control can feel really, really good. Knowing what’s going to happen or how you’re going to feel in a given moment gives a strong sense of security and purpose. But so much of life is outside of your hands and the moment you surrender to that you become free to really live and appreciate your existence.

Want to feel in control of your future? Read with a life path psychic to discover where your choices are taking you.

The following four things are way outside the boundaries of control. In fact, they’re things you can’t control. Accept that and you’ll find a higher sense of peace in all aspects of your life.

1. You Can’t Control the Past
How many times have you thought about something you’ve said or done and wished you could have handled it differently? And how many times have you lamented a circumstance that didn’t work out in your favor? Everyone has countless regrets, missed opportunities, and mistakes. But, without them, you wouldn’t be the person you are today. Your missteps may be embarrassing, they may have set you back a little or they might have changed the courses of your life but because they happened, they’ve taught you how to be a more dynamic human being. After all, challenges and changes keep you working for the life you really want. Conversely, when everything simply goes your way, you’re unprepared for the reality of life. Instead of wishing you could control or rewrite the past, mine it for the lessons it holds for you.

2. You Can’t Control the Passage of Time
Whether you like it or not, time keeps on ticking. (Though, the concept of time as we know it—hours, years, and so on—is a human construct.) You can’t change the fact that every day you’re aging; that every day you have just a little bit less time left. But instead of feeling fearful or sad about this fact, you can use it to live your best life. At the very least, you can use the passage of time as a reminder to break free of unhappy circumstances, to appreciate the good in your life (and in the world), and to work to make a positive impact on those around you.

3. You Can’t Control the Feelings and Action of Others
As much as you’d like to, you have zero control over other people’s reactions, thoughts, and emotions. While you may think you’d like to have some concrete influence (and, surely, we all really do try sometimes), it would be quite an overwhelming responsibility if you could actually wield that kind of power. In fact, it would probably weigh you down more than it would help your relationships, from your romantic bonds to your family. Knowing that all you can do is treat people with respect and kindness lifts that burden.

4. You Can’t Control the Unexpected
Throughout your life, things are just going to happen. Great, wonderful things and terrible, debilitating things. Yes, it would be nice if you could get a head’s up when these events and situations occur, for better or for worse, but, sadly, that’s just not how life works. Once you accept that, you can be free to stop fearing the future or setting too-high expectations for the outcomes of your actions. Instead, you can resolve to just live your life to the fullest. If you’re always anticipating that something bad (or even something awesome) will happen, you will be overly scared or continually disappointed. While it may be tough to just go with the flow, doing so frees you so you can appreciate the present moment so much more.
