Hello and thank you for joining us today.
Imagine you're a bright,
Big,
Beautiful flower with large colorful petals.
You're very special and unique flower and you worry about everyone and everything around you.
You try to control things to make sure that nothing bad happens to the ones you love so dearly or things you care about.
This makes you tired and you feel exhausted.
You find that suddenly you cannot sleep at night and you notice that you're struggling at school and not really enjoying your time with your friends.
You begin to feel different and each time you worry a petal loses color and you start feeling weak.
One day a little bird stops by and asks you why you're so sad and you say that you don't really know how to control your worrying about everyone and everything.
The little bird shares his special secret on how he gets to live so freely.
You cannot control the things like the rain,
Wind or sun he says.
You cannot control how people treat you he says.
These are little things outside of the power of your petals.
If I try to control all these things I would be too afraid to fly and I wouldn't get to see all the beautiful things around me.
What you can control is the power that lies within your strong petals.
The power I'm speaking about here are your feelings.
Your petals have the power to choose how you want to respond to the feelings or things happening around you.
This is your true power and is called your circle of control.
Dear flower for you to live freely,
Grow beautifully and be strong you must let go of what you cannot control which are the things happening outside of your beautiful self.
Focus on keeping your petals bright by realizing that you have the power within you.
How you nourish yourself today with healthy thoughts and love will determine how bright you glow into the future.
Focus on today.
Worrying is thinking about things that has not happened yet that may not even happen.
Use your power to let go of worry and enjoy the plenty gifts all around you.
