If you are searching for the common denominator in your life, you are in luck. You are it. Now that you know you are the only consistent factor in any situation, you can begin to figure out how you are contributing to your recurring challenges and problems. This is great news because, once you realize you are at least part of the problem, you can begin to change your behavior, beliefs and attitudes that are contributing to the situation. Keep in mind that you have to concern yourself only with you, not with anyone else. You are the only one you can change. So don’t focus outside yourself. Focus on the common denominator. You will be amazed at the difference this process will make in your life. ~Rachelle Disbennett-Lee, PhD

ReplyDeleteTo learn that I can't force everyone else to bend to my will is devastating news! Naw, just kidding. This is an excelent observation and a true start to self awareness and taking charge of one's life and circumstances.

This isn't mere phsycology, but spiritual truth. Just take a situation or a person you have a problem with to God in sincere prayer and see where He starts working first......it will almost always begin in you. - Barbara
ReplyDeleteWhat a truth! It is common sense, but just something you never think about, isn't it? Thank you so much for this reminder.
