A Simple Truth That Can Change Your Life 🌿

So much of our suffering comes from trying to control what was never ours to control.

Look closely.

There are two worlds we live in every day:

🔹 What we can control
and
🔹 What we can’t

Most people exhaust their energy fighting the second one.

---

🟢 What IS in your control

Your beliefs.
Your mindset.
Your attitude.
Your routines.
Your attention.
Your reactions.
Your boundaries.
Your relationships.
How you treat others.
How you spend your time.
How you talk to yourself.

This is your true power.
This is where change actually happens.

When you choose patience over anger,
discipline over excuses,
kindness over ego —
you are shaping your life from the inside out.

---

🔴 What is NOT in your control

Other people’s behavior.
Other people’s beliefs and opinions.
Their words.
The past.
The future.
Weather.
Traffic.
Aging.
Uncertainty.
Natural events.

No amount of worry, overthinking, or emotional exhaustion will bend these to your will.

Yet we give them our peace every day.

---

🧘 Buddhist wisdom reminds us:
Suffering is born when we cling to what cannot be controlled and ignore what can.

The moment you stop arguing with reality,
you reclaim your calm.

You don’t need to control the world to be at peace.
You only need to master your response to it.

✨ Focus where your power lives.
✨ Release what was never yours.
✨ Protect your energy like it’s sacred — because it is.

Peace begins the day you stop trying to control everything
and start taking responsibility for your inner world.

It is easy to forget how blessed we are.

To wake up.
To eat a meal.
To move our bodies.
To breathe without effort.
To care for others — and to be cared for.

We often chase big moments and overlook the quiet miracles that happen every day. Yet even the tired moments, the long days, and the ordinary routines mean one simple thing: we are alive.

🍃 The body working is a blessing.
🍃 A full breath is a gift.
🍃 Another morning is not guaranteed.

Gratitude is not found in perfection.
It is found in noticing.

Buddhist wisdom teaches mindfulness — seeing clearly what is already here. When we slow down enough to appreciate the ordinary, life becomes rich without needing more.

👉 A warm bed.
👉 A shared meal.
👉 A kind word.
👉 The ability to move, think, feel.

These are not small things.

🌱 Gratitude doesn’t deny struggle.
It reminds us that even within struggle, life is still offering us something.

And that is what makes life truly beautiful —
not what is extraordinary,
but what is quietly, faithfully present every day.

Social work is professional work- and we need the Department of Education to treat it that way. Recent federal changes to loan limits for professional and graduate programs leave social work out, despite the fact that MSW and DSW programs meet rigorous professional standards and prepare practitioners for licensed, regulated, life-impacting work. This exclusion harms social workers and threatens access to our profession. NASW is working with CSWE and coalition partners to push the DOE to recognize social work as a professional degree. We’ve updated our student loan relief resources with the latest information and will be issuing an action alert as soon as the public comment period opens. When that happens, we will need social workers, students, educators, and allies everywhere to submit comments. Your voice will matter, your expertise will matter, your solidarity will matter.
