Last month, we covered Attention, Intention, and Inspiration, which focused on the positive, creative side. This month, we expand on these concepts, examining what is within and beyond our control; how to deal with stressful situations, and recognising that it is within our control to avoid certain situations. We also explore how the current times are both stressful and exciting; stressful because events sometimes unfold in ways we might not have chosen if we were in control, and exciting because we are witnessing truths coming to light, and we know we can be involved in building a better future.

In the Attention and Intention topic, we noted that there are times in life when we can plan our day-to-day affairs, and others when we must cope with unexpected and challenging situations. The first is proactive, while the second is reactive; yet, we can be mindful in both. Also, in both scenarios, we can accept where we are and focus on where we want to go from there.

We acknowledge that it is easier to manage our day-to-day activities and create the future we desire when things are going our way. But life has a way of throwing us curveballs. We have all, at one time or another, experienced life’s little disappointments, unexpected issues, as well as short and long-term stresses. At times, life seems to be going in the wrong direction, and we need to take measures to turn it around and follow a path more in line with our soul’s calling.

Most of us would like more control over our everyday lives. Yet if everything were completely within our control, we would lose something very special, that magic moment and the possibility of serendipity.
