Know what you can control – people often feel stuck because they are trying to control external circumstances and/or other people, which is impossible and it sets you up for disappointment and feelings of failure. This quote from Esther Hicks/Abraham sums it up very well:
“The thing that most people do not understand, is that you get to control the way you feel, because you get to choose the thoughts you think. Most people think that they only have the option of responding to the circumstances that surround them. And that's what makes them attempt the impossible, which is to control the circumstances around them, which only feeds their feeling of frustration and vulnerability because it doesn't take very much life experience to discover you can't control all of those circumstances. But you can control your vibration. And when you control your vibration, you've controlled everything that has anything to do with you.”
