Believing I
wasn't powerless, that
I could fix things, did indeed make my life unmanageable. The harder I tried, the more unmanageable life became. I wish I had learned how powerless I truly am much sooner.
Even though I can say I am powerless, believing it is still a struggle at times.
I can only control myself and my own reactions to situations.
This is so true. I really need to work hard on how I react and feelings that arise in certain situations. How I choose to react, if negative, continues to make life unmanageable. Sometimes things seem so grim, it's hard to stay positive. I still think a lot of those "if only" . . . . , but I remind myself, I am powerless.
My grandma has it right, she always tells me "things will work out just the way they are supposed to, according to God's plan, not mine.
