Hoping for the promotion, for the external event to be invited to, for the friend to invite you over; it’s a waste of your time and energy.
It’s always better to switch from hope to focus and place it on things you can control.
Of course, it’s not a fun thing to do.
The moment you know it’s all in your hands, you begin to feel overwhelmed, anxious, downright fearful of it all. Once you know it’s in your control, you’re squeezed by accountability and expectations for yourself.
There’s no short cut out of it. All one can believe is that it’s less frustrating to do what you can than to wait for someone else to do what you hope.
Stay Positive & What’ll You Choose?
