When more time and energy is spent on trying to change or control what we can't, we are actually overlooking the real change that needs to happen within ourselves.

Your own thoughts can be your worst enemy. Especially when you are trying to better yourself. Negative thoughts seem to increase at the beginning of this journey. This is the fear of the unknown. It's okay, just keep going. Unhealthy thoughts begin to decrease, when you are finally in control of yourself and your destination.

People that are all different kinds of negative, are dealing with their own demons, which have nothing to do with you. So don't take it personally and internalize it as your own. Hopefully, they will come to terms with their troubles, but you can't control that.

People that are all different kinds of negative, are dealing with their own demons, which have nothing to do with you. So don't take it personally and internalize it as your own. Hopefully, they will come to terms with their troubles, but you can't control that either.

The more you attempt to control everything, the less actual control you have over anything, remember that.

Don't allow someone or something to have such control over your emotions. Take your power back.

Ride the wave of your feelings , but do not allow them to crash against the shore.

Fear will stop you at every shoreline, if you let it. You must decide right now; who controls you, you or your fear? So put those darn toes in the water, dive right in, and swim your little heart out.

The minute you try to control anything else except yourself , is the defining moment when you, yourself, are out of control.".
