You can't change the people around you...

...but you can change the people around you.

This is not a riddle.

This is all about personal power and recognizing what is in your hula hoop of control and what isn’t. I can’t tell you how long it took me to get this one. I’m 37 and when I really learned this lesson it was extremely painful so it made a lasting impression. To be be honest I still forgot it but what a relief it is to understand and be starting to integrate that there are things that are in my control and things that aren’t. It’s made dynamics and relating to people in dating, partnership, at work, building my coaching business, clients, friendships and even strangers so much simpler. Not easy, but simpler. I’m curious who out there has learned this lesson and how it shows up in your life? Or what you think generally about this idea.
