"Only you can control your future." ~Dr. Seuss

The truth about life is that at every point, you are either in control or out of control. When you are out of control, you feel you are have no power over the outcomes of your life, your feel victimized by happenings, circumstances or people.

This is not to say that certain things will not happen to you that may be beyond your immediate control. You must realize that what matters is your reaction to such situations.

I would be sharing some things that you can start doing from now to be in total control of your life, I believe you would a have a change of mindset after reading this.

A lot of people do not realize how powerful they are until it is too late, some do not know how much control they have given to external factors or other people in their lives.

The five ways to be in control of your life throughout this year and always are:

1. Take control of your actions
Are all your actions well thought out before they are implemented? You can and you must always remain in control of your actions. This is to say that you never act unless you are totally convinced within you that you are taking the right step. Train yourself not to bow to pressure from others to do the things you do not approve of within you. Give careful thoughts to all your actions.

2. Speak only the right words
What kind of words do you let out of your mouth? Your words are life. With the words you speak, you create your reality. It takes great effort and discipline to be able to control your tongue. The great men past and present have learnt this one secret and it has guided them all through their lives. Before you speak, think and rethink. Weigh the consequences of the words you are about to utter before you let them out. Thinking must come before speaking.

3. Mind your thoughts
What things do you constantly think about? Remember that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You cannot rise above your thoughts, your thoughts form your reality. Every single invention of man originated from his thought. Whatever you see physically first existed in the mind of someone as a thought. Learn to use your thoughts to your advantage, spend time thinking only of the things you want to become your reality.

4. Change every self-limiting belief
What kind of beliefs do you have deep-rooted in you? Do you know that your beliefs have a very profound effect on your perspective of life? To a large extent, your whole being is controlled by your belief system. The way you dress, the food you eat, the type of people you keep as friends. It is time to reassess your beliefs and eliminate limiting ones.

5. Be in control of your time
Where do your hours go? What kind of activities consume most of your time daily? Your time is your life. If you are busy wasting your time, know that you are invariably wasting your life. Be selfish with how you use your time, make every minute count.

You must realize that achieving total control of your life requires great discipline. Watch the things that go into your mind.
