Focus On What You Can Control

Even when it comes to impose change, there are still things that you can have control over and you need to focus on those aspects so for example that may include attitude; your response and actions on certain things that are within your control you need to make sure that you do those things. There are certain things that may be within the control of other people and if you focus on those things you’re going to get depressed because there isn’t much you can do about it so stop focusing on those ones. So, if a change is being imposed on you what you should be asking yourself straight away is okay this is happening to me and it’s not the ideal situation however what can I do about this thing; once you shift from what other people have control over to what you have control over, now action is inevitable because it becomes easier for you to take steps you can’t take. When it comes to adapting to change, if you do not first of all recognize that you can do something about it, it becomes difficult so focus on the ‘Me’ aspect; the bit that I can do and leave the other parts that are out of your control because the more you focus on what you can do, the greater the chance of the outcome turning out to be what you actually desire it to be. There are some people again using the example of companies who are doing really well in a company but then say some changes took place and they lose their jobs, is very unfortunate when such things happen but there are others who when they got into such situations, because of their ability to adapt and the fact that they focused on what they could do, sometimes just weeks or months down the line, they turn around and are like that was actually the best thing that could have happened to me because if that change was not imposed on me I wouldn’t have thought of doing this thing instead or wouldn’t have seen this other door because I was only focusing on this particular door so that’s why it’s very important if you don’t focus on what you can do you will miss the other doors that may be right next to you.
