Leaning In: How to get the most out of every circumstance

There are only a handful of things we have control over in our lives and at some point, most of us accept the fact that there are A LOT of things we simply can’t control.

I think it happens to all of us a bit differently but ultimately… it’s inevitable.

Maybe you realized it while screaming at the traffic as you missed the most important meeting of your life. Or when your home lost 50% of its value overnight and forced you into foreclosure. Or perhaps, you weren't so lucky and the moment struck you when you were diagnosed with cancer.

At some point during a circumstance like this, the yelling, screaming, sadness or anxiety switches to a “FUCK IT”!

The resistance leading up to this moment is all-consuming but once we hit “fuck it”, we experience a release. I think the release happens once we have fully accepted the circumstance as something no longer in our control.

Now our focus is singular. The only question to ask is “whats next?” This moment is pretty special because it forces us into a decision.

“A decision is when you cut off any other possibility and you commit to something with everything you’ve got, and you take action” — Tony Robbins
