Quietly Confident

It may seem that not being in control of your life is highly disempowering. Look at the table below, however, and consider how this profound truth may alter your approach to life and maximise your potential:

Situation	I control	Krishna controls
Success	Proud / Complacent	Grateful / Humble
Failure	Depressed / Frustrated	Accepting / Determined
Difficulties	Angry / Blame	Reflective / Progressive
Change	Nervous / Overwhelmed	Excited / Confident
Challenge	Inadequate / Weak	Empowered / Strong
Spiritual journey	Hopeless / Unachievable	Hopeful / Achievable

Can you reflect on life examples for each of the above? For example, can you think of a time when you failed and became depressed due to your lack of spiritual awareness? Maybe you have witnessed someone who faced a challenging situation but became empowered due to their dependence on God? How can we develop the awareness that Krishna is in control?
