Have Control Over Your Own Life: Agency

"Change your thoughts and your change your world." - Norman Vincent Peaus

Agency is ones ability to make choices that influence ones life. In short, it entails being able to have control over your own life.

Start increasing your agency by making it a choice to improve in different areas of your life. You alone own your thoughts, emotions, and action. Take a small step towards renewing your thoughts, which is where it all begins, and watch how you slowly start making progress in your life.

Your thoughts will lead you to the life you ultimately want if you learn to choose your thoughts wisely. The thoughts you allow yourself to replay and repeat in your mind are the thoughts that end up guiding your behavior and attitude. Therefore, be mindful of the thoughts you allow yourself to entertain.

A small step can be keeping a gratitude journal, challenging your stinking thinking, and/or meditating every morning for 5-15 minutes. Change doesn't always require a big step, a little pebble can make big ripples. What step will you be taking next?
