So I was chilling by the beach, just minding my own business….
Enjoying the last few sunny days before winter comes…
Even took this cute little selfie to capture this moment as I was really enjoying my peace.🥰
I thought I was lying down far enough from the shore to be safe from the strong waves.
Yet not even 5 minutes into this quiet moment, I get smacked in the faces, pushed away and then pulled into the water by a ridiculously big wave
My clothes, my hat and my phone are drenched, and dripping wet
In that moment, I could have:
Felt angry /upset and “blame-y” at the ocean, at myself, at my friends who are with me for not warning me, etc….
Instead I stood up ran to the water and had more waves in my face
I’m still figuring out why i did that, TBH… but there was ZERO negative response /emotion in my body.
That may not be a big deal for some…But you have to understand, i did not want to go into the water today.
It was cold AF for my tropical Filipino a**
And I have huge resistance in my body for sudden temperature change!!
But the thing is…
There are certainly things you can’t control, much like there are things you CAN control.
Things like, the waves in the ocean…
Your favourite shop closing due to COVID.
What the weather is tom…
Etc.
But you will always have your SPHERE OF INFLUENCE:

Your perception, and how you understand things
The thoughts and beliefs and stories you choose to form
The feelings you feel
The things you say and not say
The things you do and not do.
And guess what, that DICTATES your future.
You co-create your life. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE CONTROL.
Take your power back, regardless of whatever situation you find yourself in,
and CHOOSE A BETTER FUTURE based on your NOW
