Topic: Dictating The Terms Of Our Life

We may not be able to dictate the terms of our outside life because of obstacles, burdens and circumstances we cannot control. However, we can determine what our life is like on the inside. What we must ultimately strive for in life is not to try and avoid obstacles or circumstances outside of us, but to be smart enough to win at life by dictating the terms of our inner life. We must try to be smart enough to beat back the inner opponent in us who whispers in our ear to give up, all is lost, the game is over, and to stop trying. Your greatest obstacle in life is not a car refusing to run, a job you cannot find, or your loneliness. Your greatest obstacle in life is your dark inner opponent telling you everything is lost when, in fact, you can find fullness and meaning in life in spite of your dark obstacles, situations, and circumstances. When you dictate the terms of your life, you dictate how you will win by declaring your inner life is controllable and you are the controller.
