Everyday we must make decisions; some are easy and others are not so much. We look at the world around us, and some days feel harder to get through. Is it violence, hate, and other negativity in our small patch of the planet? Do we need some positivity to push us forward? Imagine, if you will, that your immediate circle of influence--friends, family, work mates, and others--are there to make you better. So, our circle wants us to be better; then why do we feel such a negative aura around the globe? Simple, we have no influence on the entire earth, but we can control our circle of influence. We can limit the outer influences and limit the attention that we give to the people closest to us.
Never get fooled into thinking that anyone else can control your sphere of existence. I was asked once, when complaining about something outside of my sphere, "Why let it raise your blood pressure? " I wasn't angry, hurt, or surprised by the happenings in the world. I did want to let people know how I feel. How my worldview is ever changing. So, no, we can't be angry at anything out of our control; we can, though, let the world know that we see and acknowledge what is happening. But we will not let it affect us in anyway!
