Episode notes
Wish For Things As They Are
- Do wish that everything happens as it actually will instead of wishing events matched your preferences.
- Focus energy on how you respond to things you cannot control to make your life flow well.
Control Versus Circumstance
- Recognize that many events in life are outside your control and not chosen by you.
- Embracing this reduces wasted effort on wishing things were different and frees you to act productively.
Respond, Don’t Resign
- Do not give up when fate brings unwanted events; decide how you will respond and act accordingly.
- Seek the best response and make the best of difficult situations rather than passively accepting them.
