No matter who you are, where you live, and what you do for a living, no matter how hard you try, worry, think, predict, or calculate, you cannot stop the time from flying by, you cannot keep the days sunny all year around, you can not predict when your good fortune will arrive, and you have no idea what other people think of you unless they tell,…
What can you control?
There are things you can do to make peace with the environments you reside.
By mowing your lawn regularly, you show your neighbors that you care, you are organized, and you have good plans in your housing management. By going to work right on time or ahead of the time, you tell your boss and coworkers that you take your job seriously, and you know the importance of getting a project started and done in timely manner. By dressing to impress, dressing for success, you demonstrate to the world that you respect yourself, respect your job, and deserve the same respect from those around you.
All these things you do is for you to live a life with a sense of order, you are in good control yourself with your fair conducts and manners, you have confidence, and you live for NOW with admirable self-management skills.
Your thoughts, your attitude, and your response to what’s happening in your life are those items you can control, at least you have the option to work on maintaining a secure and peaceful mindset. When you have ordered thinking to support the functions of your heart, body, spirit, and emotion, you are in control!
yesterday is history, tomorrow is future, what you have is today, today is “the present”, a gift that is given to you from the Divine.
May you live for TODAY to its fullest!

I can control and own my choices. Good post. Got me to think.
AA says: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. All we have to worry about is today.
All we can even hope to control is ourselves and even that, I fail at sometimes.
Thanks for your post.
Words of wisdom here Ji...This is so deep...Something we should take heed...And apply to our lives so we dont allow life to stress us out and lose who we are...
Interesting twist on mystery. What I can control is no mystery to me. I can control everything from my skin on in; everything else is out of my control.
Marvelous words of wisdom, Jingle!
Very wise, very true.
It's so true! We can only control ourselves and hope for the best=0)
Lets have a great day!

I can be control , will by HIM.

my family...

Faith in all that is GOOD...
and to be protected against all that is EVIL...

so true...so true...
happy tt!!
I love it when my life is orderly like that!
Very nice my friend :) Well done. Got me thinking :)
The only thing you can control is the way you respond to what's happening and even that is limited. That's why people are always telling me, "Just give it to God." It took me a long time to understand what they were saying.
Great post, Jingle!
Ha, amen. Life is about knowing what is and isn't in your power, and working with what you've got. Great post.
yesterday is history...we should learn and go on.. thoughful post...
Hi Jingle
I enjoyed the read! I can control nothing,at times I make the mistake trying lol.Glad I came across this other blog of yours and I hope you had a good Mothers Day see you soon,right here. :) "Happy Thursday"!!!
Love ya
Though I love what you said and I try to subscribe to it every day...sometimes it is difficult. Thanks for a nice post.
Great words of wisdom. So many people make them selves crazy trying to control things that cannot be controlled. It's a lot more conducive to our mental health if we just let go of those things we can't control.
So much truth here, Jingle! I love the graphic that you used. It is so striking and colorful. I'm going to go enjoy my "now."
This is an amazing post as always..
I can control the kind of person I want to be. No one can take that from me. Happy Thursday..
I control my own destiny, I wish lol, wise words from a wise lady xxx
So very true !! Great post !!
Thank -you
Have a great day !!

i agree! great perspectives.
What?? Aren't you up on "positivity" and "the Law of Attraction?"
Don't be so glum and gloomy! You can control EVERYTHING!!! Folks who have bad stuff happen in their lives just aren't thinking positively enough!
I call it Smiley-Face Spirituality, which also includes "Prosperity Theology" which is great cause you can get real stuff out of it - nice house, car etc.
(Yes, I'm kidding...)
Oooo love this post. We cannot control everything, but I believe we control MOST everything. My favorite quote.... "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of CHOICE."
Hello Jingle
some nice thought going on here
good thoughts!
Absolutely! The way you react is sometimes more important than the way you ACT.
I liked the last line that we should live today to the fullest.
Thoughtful post. Happy TT!
