Who’s in charge?  Why?   Well, look at this mess!   My life just sucks!  I feel trapped!  I don’t like my boss!   My spouse drives me nuts!   No matter where I turn, this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work.   Life is a struggle!  I’m exhausted!  Me, too!  Just writing this, whoa, talk about a drag.

Let’s try it another way.   Who holds the power?   Who holds the power to determine how you feel?   Your partner?   Your work?   The people who are presently in your life?   Your mother?   Well, who?   If conditions, events and people control us, then what’s our role?   What’s our part in all of this?

Are we puppets?   Remember the TV series “Charles in Charge?”   Well, who’s your Charles?   Who’s in charge of your life?   Ben?   Who’s Ben?   My point precisely!   If we don’t know who Ben is we certainly don’t want him to be in charge of what goes on in our lives.   I know a Ben.   No way is he going to be in charge.

Point is, if Ben isn’t in charge of the myriad of things that upset us daily, then we are!   You knew I was going to say that, right?   Build your case - I’m listening.   I‘m not really, but I knew it would help you to unload.   Home
