Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: How to Have More Control in Your Life

Control - you can't control everything but the most important thing that we have 100% control of is how you interpret life. Positive thoughts and a positive outlook on events in your life can change you life!

You can't control exactly what happens to you, but you can control how you think about what happens to you and thus essentially you can control how you feel about the events in your life.

When you feel out of control - that life has you by the reigns and you feel like you are just carried along from one event to another and you feel like you are a helpless pawn - life is not enjoyable and you struggle to get what you want out of life.

The only way to give yourself back the control of your life is to take control of the one thing you will always be able to control - your thoughts and feelings. Once you master the control of your thoughts and feelings regarding the events placed in your life, you will then be able to more easily control the types of events you have in your life. When you have more control, you also have more power, and with more power you can have, be, or do more things you want in life.

So start taking control of your life NOW! Start taking a better outlook on life NOW! Understand that even when unpleasant things happen to you, the better you can feel about it, the sooner it will pass, and the sooner you can get to better things.

Take control and start changing you life NOW!

Here is a story to help you understand how you can interpret one event in two different ways; one being more positive and thus more beneficial.

In this town in China, there was an old man who had no wife and only one son. This man's son was riding his horse and fell off and broke his leg. The entire town pointed out the negative in the situation telling the man how terrible it was that his son had broken his leg. Since his son has a broken leg, he could not help the man work to make money and provide food, so everyone looked at the situation as a total disaster. However, the old man kept a positive outlook on the situation, knowing that this happened for a reason and that something good would come out of it. The old man was a deeply religious man so he prayed often asking to see the greatness come out of this event. One day, the military came into town and took all of the able men to fight. Since the old man's son had a broken leg, he was not able to fight in battle so he got to stay in the village with his elderly father. In the battle, all men died. So, the event of the old man's son breaking his leg actually saved his life.

It's all about how you look at it! Keep your thoughts positive and good things should happen to you!
