One of my least favorite things is finding myself in situations where, no matter how hard I try or how resourceful I am, there are problems that can\u2019t be fixed. It makes me want to scream with frustration. Slowly, slowly, I\u2019m learning my lesson:<\/p>\n

\n

I can\u2019t always make it better, but I can always make it worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true. And when I am stuck and shift my focus away to not-making-things-worse\u2026 well, it helps. Maybe that\u2019s because I\u2019m no longer feeding my own anxiety and stress into the situation. Or maybe it\u2019s because my efforts get focused on what I can<\/em> control, so I\u2019m not circling in a frenzy around what I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a corollary to this that I learned from a wise friend:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m only responsible for my input, not for the outcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am responsible for what I teach my children, the example I set for others, the coping skills I model when faced with adversity or disappointment, the resources I pull in when help is needed.<\/p>\n

My input includes the tone that accompanies my corrections, the attitude I display when frustrated or angry, the faith I practice (or fail to) in front of the observant eyes of others. <\/p>\n

The outcome involves what people choose to do with all that. God gave every person in the world just as much free will as He gave me, and though I don\u2019t always like it, their choices are their own.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019ve done what I could, behaved as I ought, and said what was needed, I have to let go of what happens after that. I\u2019ve done what God asked of me. <\/p>\n

In the end, that\u2019s the most important thing of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
