“Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can’t control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.”

This is the first Podcast of yours that I have listened to: control. My number 1 issue. I related so well to your ideas and I thank you very much for your clarity. Looking forward to listening to them all!!
Thanks Deborah. This is very much the root of most of the struggle of life. We try to hard to control our lives. Learning to control what we can and not trifling with the rest is, in my opinion, the root of all happiness. 🙂
