You can’t stop the waves but you can learn to surf
~ Swami Satchidananda
Things you can’t control
how life turns up
other people’s behaviour
the weather
initial thoughts and feelings
outcomes and results
Things you can control
how you relate to what happens
how you respond to what happens
your way of being
your practice
your attitude
a focus on what you want and the step to take now in that direction
thinking about what you can do and how, rather than what you can’t
Process over prize.
Like a football team, you cannot decide the result.
You can practice and play your best game, considering the circumstances.
This is acceptance of what is.
You can’t control the waves but you can learn to surf.
What is your best step now?
