Heads or tails?

That’s it.

Those are your two choices.

Which one will you choose?

You might not see it at first, because it’s not really heads or tails, but you only ever really have two choices.

Whenever you have a situation or are presented with a set of options you don’t like or agree with, you only have the following choices.

You can change what’s happening or change how you think about what’s happening.

Of course, you can do nothing, which technically is a third option, but that just leaves you stuck where you are.

Let’s be honest for a minute.

How many times do you think you have the power to change situations you’re presented with? Maybe a few if you’re lucky or if you have a high ability to influence your surroundings.

But how many times do you have the power to change how you think about the situations you’re presented with?

Don’t read ahead. Let that last question sink in for a moment.

I hope you thought about it for a moment and came to the realization that your probability of being able to change how you think about situations you disagree with is much higher than being able to change them.

While it might not be as clear as heads or tails, your choices about how you react and respond to people and situations you disagree with are quite limited.

Now you can spend a lot of energy fighting against all the things you disagree with, or you can choose to see things differently and save your energy to focus on the few things you can control.

So what’s it going to be, heads or tails?
