Use What You Can’t Control

As humans on earth, we have no control over most of the things that affect our lives. Things like inflation, war, accidents, surprises, disasters and corrupt leaders decreeing hurtful policies that directly and dramatically impact our lives, threaten us at every turn.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed and powerless, you can use your awareness of things you can’t control, to your advantage.

If you see that food is less than healthy, you can’t make the food producers use healthier methods, but you can control what you eat. If you see prices constantly going up, start re-arranging your priorities and cutting back your spending now, before it gets worse. If it only gets better, you’ll still be way ahead of the game. Becoming lean and efficient has every advantage in both good times and bad.
