Now, I am not saying that you should just stop making decisions and go whatever way wind blows. We all have to make decisions every day. We need to make certain decisions, that is just using our personal power to its fullest. But when you come up against an obstacle that you have no control over and that you really don’t like, what do you do? Maybe it is a change at your job, a change in someone close to you, or even a change in your health. If this is a major change, and you have no control over it, then more that you fight, worse it will be. The only thing that you will get from batting your head against a stone wall is a headache. The chance of you breaking down wall is nil.

Constant resistance to a change that you cannot control has negative effects on your health, your emotions and people around you. When presented with a major change that one is resistant to, people tend to obsess about it, quickly becoming a pain to be around. Constant worrying and stressing over a change that you cannot control leads to all sorts of physical problems. And not one of these reactions is going to change core problem.
