The Dichotomy of Control
I cannot control that which is out of my reach
I can only sway my attitude and demeanor
Thus if I practice to remain calm and composed
I can focus my energy on thoughts, actions and goals
Whatever chaotic or tumultuous movements are near
I understand that my inner peace is guided by light
For I have power over my emotion and mindset
With a sense of determination and purpose
Embracing the things that are within my control
Is a paradigm shift that gives me tranquility
Searching for the words that elevate and uplift
Can help me attain balance and equanimity

A very true perspective. I find it hard to apply, but that comes with all new views, I suppose. Wonderful write. Xx

Thank you for commenting Isgyppie.
It's also a matter of practice because Lord knows I still try. It may take months, perhaps years, but we eventually get there.
Hope you enjoyed the 30 day challenge.
