Are you someone who can not let go of past hurts and resentments? Do you get upset by small mistakes or carelessness of others? Do you get easily irritated by circumstances like traffic jam, bad weather or unforeseen events?

These things affect most of us; we feel good when it is going good and bad when things go wrong. That’s ok but if you dwell on these feelings and thoughts for longer than you should be or take action from that negative place, you are letting others drive your life.

It means that rather than you; other people, things and circumstances have full control on your mood, emotions and life.

If you constantly think about others and do things as per ‘what will they think of me’, you are playing a victim of circumstances and people in your life.

“Human psychology shows that we feel good about ourselves to the exact degree to which we feel we have control of our lives. And we feel bad and out of harmony with ourselves to the degree with which we feel that we are controlled by other people and circumstances beyond our control in life.”

Also known as internal buy zithromax 250 mg online locus of control where ‘you’ are behind the steering wheel of your life and external locus of control where ‘someone/something else’ is behind the wheel, driving and taking you where they want you to go in life.

Once you become aware of the fact, you have the choice to stay same or change for good. The change begins with your thoughts, leading the way you feel, to how and what actions you take ultimately.

So next time if you feel bad, hurt or angry because the other person is not changing their behaviour as you would like or approve, say to yourself they are only doing their best in that moment. The only person you can change is yourself and in the process positively influence others around you.

Or if the circumstances are not favourable; just believe and say this in your heart; “I am exactly where I am meant to be. It will only get better.” Then think of all the possible actions and go ahead with the best option for you, rather than inaction and pitying the situation.

So, who is behind the steering wheel of “your life”? Choice is all yours!
