become a magician

1 ball. Working on it.

Is figuring out what you can and can’t control….not wasting your energy on what you can’t control…and focusing your energy on what you can control. Thereby having more of an effect in this world in the directions you want…because your efforts are more focused.

This is very hard to do. My mind struggles to control that which I cannot. I struggle to fathom ways in which I can control a situation that I cannot. I will spend hours, days breaking my head open contemplating a problem where I really cannot DO anything to help myself in the ways I want to.

I think giving up that behavior is a challenge indeed. I don’t know if I will succeed…although that’s no attitude to go into a challenge, right? But if I can at least try in this area, any progress I make will be positive.

I know specifically what I want to work on right now…I just don’t want to share it here. Maybe someday I will feel comfortable divulging all of my secrets…just not at this moment.

Also known as The Juggler.

The main point for me: do not struggle against life. There are many things that I don’t control and I don’t need to worry about, even if they do cause problems. Get those clear in my head. Observe life as I experience it and focus my efforts on my true area of influence.

To be a true magician the next step would then be to use that knowledge to my utmost advantage at all times.
