Uncovering happiness & freedom

Happiness and freedom begins with the clear understanding of one prinicple.  Some things are within our control and some things are not... Epictetus

The invitation this week is to think about all the things that is in our control and what is not. Get a big piece of paper, on one side write in control, and on the other what is not in control. Brain dump. Try to do this without too much filter or analysis, once you have filled the pages, or completely dry up, leave it and then go back to it later and see if it sparks anything else. Then let us see how much happiness and freedom is revealed as part of completing the excercise. We no longer need to be spending time thinking, or worrying, or trying to change what we can not. Freeing up our energy and our time for things we can control.
