The Circle of Control

The circle of control is a theory that says we can only, truly, ever control that which is within the circle of our control. This means i can control my thoughts, my words, my behavior, my reactions, my mind set and my mood. But i cannot control other people, society or the things that happen to me. So how does this impact our day to day life? Here are a couple of examples of how it might play out. You can ask yourself, here is in my circle of control. I can't make them stop doing that behavior. I can, you know, quit watching them on social media. I can ask for what i need.
