The only thing you can control in life is yourself. You can control your decisions, behavior and reactions - but that's it. Solving other people's problems or analyzing every part of the conversation will wear you down over time. That's why you need to leave behind these 7 things you have no control over in life.
Above these 7 things in life you have no control, so it's good to leave them behind.
A change
On the one hand, change that causes everything to turn upside down (even good things) is one of the worst things in life, but on the other hand, that's the beauty of life. As much as you wish you could control time, you can't. Every day is a new day and an opportunity to create unforgettable memories. In reality, you have to learn to go with the flow and see all change as an opportunity to create something new and exciting.
Weather
Sometimes you wake up to a sunny day, other times to rain and snow. Your plans to spend the day at the beach fall through, you might have to skip the coffee to clean the snow off the car. At first, you will feel frustrated and complain, but don't let that feeling take over your day, because you have no control over the weather. Try to make the most of a rainy day and try to find the bright side. Even the rain has to stop sometime, right?
Traffic
Always be prepared to stay in traffic. Sometimes you just can't influence such situations. Waiting can be awful, but that doesn't mean you have to be.
The past
The past is the past. You can't change it, and you have no influence on what happened. When you grow up, you also learn something and you have to learn to let things go. The past can hurt, but it is also true that it is what we do with it that matters. You can decide to leave the ugly memories behind or carry them with you forever. Make sure that you are truly doing things for yourself and that you are who you are now and not who you once were.
Future
You can't control the future either. You can try a five-year plan or determine each step as you go. But in reality, you will come across at least one thing on the way that is not in your plan. Maybe you'll fall in love or unexpectedly find a place you'll be happy to call home. Maybe you change careers or decide to follow your wildest dreams. These are the unexpected things and, frankly, the best.
The opinion of others
You may be in a relationship with a person who has suddenly started to feel differently, or in a conversation where the other person disagrees with you. You spend hours and hours trying to convince this person to see things differently, but in reality you have no influence on that. Learn to put things behind you and focus instead on how you react in similar situations.
The happiness of others
Although you want your friends and family to be happy, you really have no control over that either. Of course, you can make them happy, but in the long run it is up to them to turn that grimace into a smile. Leave their problems behind and instead focus on your own positivity. Help them find the bright side of life, then step back and protect your peace.
If you always play the role of fate, you will exhaust yourself. Realize that you are human, and wherever possible, put yourself first. He does not carry the whole weight of the world on his shoulders and learns to you leave behind those things you cannot control.
