So often, we look to gain influence over other people, or outside forces.  We believe that studying and practicing certain scripts or techniques will create better results.  Yet, how often do we look inward?  The truth is, YOU are the only thing you can truly control or influence.   To spend time trying to control that which you cannot control is to experience great anxiety and frustration.  The outside world simply won't bend to your will....or does it?  If you focus on how you show up, how you react to events, how you serve, and more importantly...what you let go of and strip away, only then can things actually change.
