Everyone is wired to be fearful. It is how you respond to that fear that determines your likelihood of success. Sometimes it’s best to act/be the aggressor, while other times it’s best to sit back and let the storm pass. But regardless of what is the best course of action, the number one thing to remember is to not panic. Control your emotions, logically decide what should be done, then go do it.

Controllables and uncontrollables
Don’t try to change others. Don’t try to control their actions or reactions. You can’t do it, only they can and they will only choose to change when they are ready.
If you focus your energy on changing others you will frustrate yourself and you’ll frustrate them. Basically, you’ll be wasting your time while eroding the relationship.
Instead, focus on how you respond to others. Focus on what you can control – yourself – and learn to let the rest go.
