I Am Relinquishing Control

I am relinquishing control over the uncontrollable.

When I am in one of life’s low valleys, I am comforted by positive thoughts.  I am human and I am not expected to have all the answers. That loving piece of reality brings me such comfort that I can smile in the midst of shadows.

I am not in control of everything because there are things beyond my control.  And that’s okay.  I am responsible for those things that I can manage, but I am quick to let go of the things that I cannot influence. In order to save myself from anxiety, I do not hold on to things that I cannot control.

I try my hardest with what I can control.  I set fair expectations for myself.  I am diligent.  I am hardworking, yet I can admit my limitations.

When I identify things in my life that are uncontrollable, I let go of them quickly.  I do not waste time trying to handle things that are impossibly out of my reach.  I am happy to relinquish control because my ego and pride are in check.

When I have to acknowledge my lack of control, I do not feel guilt.  By letting go of control, I make room for miracles.

In situations where I am unsure of what to do, I seek help.  If I see that there is nothing else I can do, I pray, then I simply let go.

I relinquish control of all situations to a Higher Power.  Where my strength ends, there is a greater strength that carries me forward.  When my abilities run thin, there is the power of miracles.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    What are some things that I need to give up?
2.    How can I free myself from undue pressures?
3.    Why should I burden myself with things that I cannot control?

I Accept People

I accept people as they are.

Experiencing the diversity of life invigorates me. The world is a more interesting place because people offer such a wonderful assortment of personalities and perspectives.

I don’t expect people to be a mirror image of me because of the wonderful variety the world has to offer. Since I know I don’t have to agree with everyone or be close friends with each person I meet, this knowledge allows me to enjoy people for who they are.

Learning to understand the value of diversity is important to me. Looking at how I am different from others helps me realize how unique and special I am. I also like to discover the extraordinary talents and abilities of others.

I am proud of my open and accepting behavior. Being open has brought so much goodness into my life.

My life is enriched by diversity. I value new relationships and accept people as they are.

Nurturing new relationships gives me perspective and appreciation for the views of others. I can learn from people who have had experiences that are different from my own. They can teach me valuable lessons that I have not learned from my own life experiences.

Because I want people to fully accept me for who I am, I show others that same respect. I allow people to be proud of the uniqueness they bring to the world. The world is a much more exciting place because we are all so different.

Enjoying the variety of the world brings me true happiness. I relish the differences my Creator so wisely brought into the world and I am so thankful to be part of this incredible diversity.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    Do I make an effort to accept people as they are?
2.    How has someone influenced my thoughts or actions in a positive way?
3.    I want people to fully accept me for who I am. Do I also show others the same respect?

Helping Others

Helping others helps me manage my stress.

Showing others compassion is a beautiful gift.   Finding ways to help others manage their stress is a way of showing my love.

I find comfort in seeing happiness radiate from others.  If I can find a way to help another person manage their problems or overcome their difficulties, then I will take action.  Finding ways to soothe their worries and remove pressure from their lives is a worthwhile use of my time.

I have been given many wonderful gifts and talents.  Finding ways to share my fortune with others is important. I am so grateful that I am in a position to help other people.

When I help others, I feel like I am doing my part to make the world a better place. By channeling my energy into providing my support, I lessen the stress in my own life.

Some people may find it hard to accept help or acknowledge the kindness of others, but that is okay. I lend a hand because it is the right thing to do and that is the only reward I need.

Seeing others relax removes stress from my life.  It is like taking a deep breath and finding the world a calmer place.  I know that if I can remove stress from other people’s lives that I am also capable of bringing calm into my own life.

Because I am a kind and loving person, helping others is in my nature. I am so lucky that I have received so many blessings in my life, and I look for ways to share my gifts.  Giving back to others makes me feel calm and happy.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    How do I use my time and talent to help others?
2.    How do I feel after I have helped someone overcome difficulties or problems?
3.    Are there more ways that I could reach out and offer a helping hand?
