Taking Control of What You Can

There are some things in this life we just can't control.  Weather is one of those we cannot.  Yes, it is true we have a much better ability to forecast what we expect the weather to be, but still we have no control over what the weather will actually be.  We have no control over who our parents are, no control over where we were born or what race or nationality we are.  We have no control over the formation of our DNA - the things that determine who we are and how we are "wired."

At the same time, there are many things God has given us the ability and opportunity to control.  Listed below are some of those things that each of us has the ability to utilize and manage:

     - the time we are given
     - the talents we were born with
     - the energy we have
     - the resources around us
     - the money available to us
     - the brain we have been given
     - the opportunities that come our way

Most people in this world have been given tremendous freedom to choose what they will control and how they will do it.  The choices we make on the list above will have a great impact on the level of our success.

Take time to reflect how well you take control of those things I have listed.
