Circle of Influence- things I can do to improve situation
Circle of concern - things I have no direct control
Assalamualaikum
1. Thanks Abang MB for your good writings. I think you should write more because you have talents and your writing style is simply great! I still remember once you said , we always think to change other people. Why not we look at ourself first and start to change from there. How true it is!
2. We go to work everyday and try so hard to change our staff. We get back home and try hard to change our wife and our children. We try to change our siblings. We try to change our neighbour, our community and so on and so forth. The list will never end. At the end of the day we feel so tired and upset. Eventually we found that we have no control over other people..
3. Only one person left to us to change. Ourself! Can we change this one person? Can we control him or her?
4. A beggar meet a succesful and merciful man at his office and ask for money. The successful man said that he can help the beggar that time but at the same time he want him to meet a great man who can really help the beggar forever. The beggar was astonished and being led to a small room with a huge mirror. He saw nobody and ask where is the great man? The successul man show the mirror and told the beggar only that man can help him forever! He gave the money to the beggar to buy some new cloth and food. That really touch the beggar and after three years he was changed to a successful businessman..

5. Steven Covey says -work within your circle of influence, not your cirle of concern. Your circle of influence will become bigger and bigger. How true it is! So friend, lets do it. Lets work on our circle of influence. It could be only ourselves right now! doesn't matter, give it a try and see whether Steven Covey tell us the truth or not. I bet he is. Don't tell me that you don't have circle of inluence at all! (actually many people don't have so they work on the circle of concern)
