“Darling, just change the channel. You are in charge of the clicker. Don’t replay the bad, scary movie,” Elli Stassinopoulos.
The quote above is from Arianna Huffington’s late mother. Huffington included the quote in the introduction to her recently released book, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder. Huffington included a lot of her mother’s practical wisdom in her book, but this quote spoke to me.
We are in charge of our own lives. Yes, there are events that are outside of our control but, for the most part, we make the decisions that result in the outcomes. We are the sum of our individual choices. If we don’t like the way our lives are going, we have the power to change them.
The remote control is in your hands. You choose. Will you stay on the same channel or opt for a change?
