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
