Understanding Control: The Spheres of Influence
Life often requires us to evaluate where we exert control, influence, or concern regarding various situations. The inner sphere represents what one can control, while the middle sphere demonstrates areas where influence is possible, and the outer sphere encompasses aspects that evoke concern but lie beyond reach. Recognizing these spheres highlights a critical insight: our control over circumstances is limited, primarily focused on our responses. This perspective encourages individuals to let go of the desire to control everything, instead nurturing a mindset of acceptance and mindfulness about what truly matters.
