We can't control others, only ourselves from "summary" of It Ends with Us, It Starts with Us Ebook Collection by Colleen Hoover
In life, there are things that are within our control and things that are not. One of the most important concepts to grasp is that we cannot control others, only ourselves. This realization is crucial for personal growth and emotional well-being. When we try to control others, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment and frustration. People have their own thoughts, feelings, and actions that are beyond our influence. It is a futile effort to try to change someone else, as it is ultimately up to them to make their own choices and decisions. Instead of focusing on changing others, we should concentrate on ourselves. We have the power to control our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By taking responsibility for our own actions, we can work towards becoming the best version of ourselves. Self-awareness is key in this process. By understanding our own motivations and triggers, we can better manage our reactions to external circumstances. This self-awareness allows us to respond to situations in a way that aligns with our values and goals. Setting boundaries is another important aspect of controlling ourselves. By establishing clear boundaries, we can protect our own well-being and prevent others from taking advantage of us. Boundaries help us maintain healthy relationships and ensure that we are not being manipulated or mistreated.- The key to personal growth and happiness lies in recognizing our own agency and focusing on what we can control. By letting go of the need to control others and instead focusing on ourselves, we can cultivate a sense of empowerment and self-fulfillment.
