Control, Influence & Accept

Rather than feel defeated and "wait until things get better" it's imperative we take control of the things we CAN CONTROL.
One tool Luminate Leadership highly recommends to assist with mindset, focus, and direction is the "C.I.A" model.

C- Control.
I - Influence
A- Accept

To work through it, ask yourself :

‍
CONTROL - Can I control it?

‍
There is so much wasted energy spent on things we cannot change or control, instead, shift your focus towards what you can Control. What can I change in my attitude towards the task, conversation, situation etc?

You always have control over the way you respond and your attitude in every circumstance.

‍
INFLUENCE - If I can't control it, what can I do to influence the desired outcome?‍

Can you alter an outcome or inspire someone else to?

‍
ACCEPT - If I cannot control or influence it, what do I choose to accept?

‍
You have a choice of what you accept.
Do you need to change the narrative? Do you need to find the courage to plan for another reality? Do you need to find a way to be at peace with it?

When you are faced with a challenge, ask yourself the CIA questions.

Let's not wait for the "perfect time".

All you have is NOW! EMBRACE IT!
