Radical Acceptance. Internal Locus of Control. They’re both just concepts. Words. But because I choose to give them power, they help me. And in the end isn’t that all life comes down to, choice?
So I choose to radically accept what I cannot control and apply my locus of control internally. I only have agency over me and nothing else, so why get lost in the external? Let’s embrace uncertainty as we did last month (hopefully) and accept that although we may plan, we must radically accept that the outcome may be unexpected. Shoot for the moon, but know you may land amongst the stars.

Radical acceptance is definitely a work in progress and I’m sure that something will come along to really test me, but I’m sure it’s a muscle – like everything else. A muscle, among others, I hope to grow to John Cena levels if I can.

Because  damn it, I wanted freewill and the funny thing about that is that it isn’t free at all! I mean, I am free, but so is the rest of the world! Which means…I can try all the day long but the outcome isn’t promised. It obviously helps if I’m working towards a goal, but it doesn’t mean it will all line up perfectly, if at all, and that’s ironically what keeps me free. Because I don’t know. You don’t know. We don’t know. If everything worked out exactly as I planned it then I wouldn’t be free, I’d be in control. Topsy-turvy, huh?

What’s one thing you need to radically accept this month?
