I release the tendency to try to control the thoughts, opinions, or actions of other people and focus, instead, on self-improvement.
After all, there is only one person I have power over: myself!
Of course, I like it when people think well of me, but I let go of worrying about what they might think.
It’s a waste of my time and energy and causes me undue stress.
I know I do my best and that is all I can do. I accept this and am okay with it.
When I live by the Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” – and remain true to myself, I am confident most people will think highly of me.
If they do not, I refuse to let it bother me, since I cannot control them anyway.
I like knowing that I am in control of my own thoughts, behaviors, and actions.
It sure takes the burden off my shoulders to know that the only person I need to control is me.
What an uplifting revelation!
I have gratitude to bring me joy.
I have a passion for life that enables me to enjoy every minute of every day by simply living in the moment.
I have affirmations to replace negative thoughts and attitudes with the positive ones I deserve.
This tool allows me all the self-improvement I could ever desire.
Armed with my tools and my understanding of how I can shape my world, I go forth confident of success.
Today, I choose to live every moment true to myself, not worrying about what others might think.
