There are things you can’t control in Life! – I

Life is filled with things you can’t control, so stop worrying about them!

As human beings we worry a lot, sometimes about things we can’t control. That’s why we decided to go through a list of things that are beyond your grasp, which you have no direct strings to pull in order to alter the outcome.

Here we’re big advocates of writing your own destiny, taking life into your own hands and making the most with the little resources you have at your disposal.

So why dedicate an entire article to a list of things that are so opposite of what is our bread and butter?

We did this because the moment you realize you can no control these things, you are free to stop worrying or beating yourself down for them. This is the hand you’ve been dealt, it’s time to be honest with yourself and focus on the things that you can change.

While going through below mentioned things, we aim to make you realize that despite the fact that many aspects of your life are beyond your control, you can still craft your own path and make the most out of each situation.

 

Where you were born

Depending on where you were reside, your standards of living and access to education, health and opportunities drastically differ.

You cannot control where you were born, so it is important to make the most out of the hand that you’ve been dealt. If you feel like this place isn’t enough, you can work hard and move to a better more advantageous location.

Although you cannot choose where you were born, you are free to choose where you want to live.

 

When you were born

This is another big one, because the period in which you were born comes with its own specific variables. You might be born in times of war or in times of prosperity.

You might be born in the 1950s and have to fight polio, or you might be born in 2015 and fight the same disease that’s coming back because people think vaccines cause autism.

Personally, we love this period of time where we live in right now. We were born with so many advantages and so far it is probably the best time to be alive. Medicinal breakthroughs happen every few months, life expectancy is at an all-time high, the internet is just starting to mature and opened so many opportunities finally creating an international fairly-free marketplace.

You’ve been really blessed to be alive in this period of time, we really have it easy!

 

Who your parents are

The first few years of your upbringing are incredibly important, because they set the core values someone keeps with them for the rest of their lives.

This one is tricky, because you don’t choose your parents.

What you need to understand is that despite differences in approach, almost all parents love their children and want them to be happy. This is biologically true.

Just think of yourself, what are the chances that you would intentionally do something so that your child ends up unhappy and a failure?! You would need to be a psychopath.

The sad part is, most parents sabotage their children unwillingly, by not allowing them to grow. They don’t do this because they hate you, but because they don’t know any better.
