While change happens quite often in life. You can change some things and not others. Dealing with things you can change can be hard to accept. Things you can not change are things that can really frustrate you.

What can I not change?

No matter how much you want another person you can not change them. They are the only ones that can change themselves. You can change how you view them or react to what they do. Other things are beyond your control. During a black out because of a blown transformer, you can not control the power or when it comes back. You can not control the weather.

What can I do about things I can not change?

You can not change people or events beyond your control. What you can change is how you respond. With people accept their quirks or whatever it is that you want to change. For people and events try to shift your focus from whatever bothers you to something you like. If the electricity is out during the day, enjoy reading a book. At night enjoy playing a board game or make up games to play by flashlights.

Rather than grump over the traffic jam, bring an audio book and learn. Anytime something you can not change bothers you, you can create a list of things you are thankful for or what makes you feel blessed. You are the one who can decide how to react to this circumstance.

What about things I can change?

You can change some things you think you can not. The key to being able to changing things that seem out of your control is to open your mind to alternatives. When you start looking for alternative solutions you may not be able to find big changes but small ones that can help.

What alternatives are there?

Perhaps you are worried about how to afford gifts for friends and family. It requires money to buy things yet a few generations ago people only gave what they could make themselves. Consider sharing baked goods, crafts or even offer coupons to help. If you need a particular product or service offer to barter. Trade something you have or a service you can provide for something you need. Trade your photography skills for dental services. There are websites dedicated to bartering and exchanges.

What if this solution will not make a big enough change?

This happens sometimes. Perhaps you need more dental work than your photography skills can provide. Perhaps you can sell some of your photography or do a bit of photography work on the side. Tell people you will do a photography party at your house. Everyone who wants a professional type picture can come one night and pays for that night. Just thinking outside the box can help you create new options and help you create change!

Do you know how powerful you are?
