Dear Stranger

Dear stranger,

The uncertainty of life can be so terrifying. The fact that we never truly know what could happen next, and that even when we feel secure, it could all change in the blink of an eye. The unpredictability of life almost feels insane sometimes. However, we also have so much control. We are in control of our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. These three things are such a significant part of who we are and determines the way we live our lives. Despite our lack of control, we also exhibit so much control, but only over ourselves. When we practice mindfulness and being present in the moment, we control our thoughts in a positive way that allows us to live a fulfilling life. Paradoxes are my thing. We literally have no control over any external factor, but we have all the control over ourselves and our own lives.

So use your power in your own life. Make your life better and work towards your dreams. It’s never too late to use your power. And if you believe in a Higher Power, allow it to give you the strength to use your power. You have all the control over yourself and your life. Stop allowing other people to tell you who you are and stop waiting for others to validate you. The world is literally in the palm of your hands.

Find your power and never let it go. Use it for good and know that despite the limited control we have over external factors, you have all the control in your own life. Perception is everything. Failures are opportunities for growth. Instead of asking “why me?” ask “what can this teach me?”
