Have a little faith

In this era, it can be difficult to have faith in your intended outcome. You’re not alone. However, experts stress that what you perceive to control your life – meaning, you (internal) or the world/others (external) – can largely determine your success. If you believe you, not outside influences, decide the direction and actions you take, you maintain an “internal locus of control”. If you believe others or circumstances determine your path, this is an “external locus of control”. W. Jane Robinson, author of The Divine Declaration—Awaken to Your Divine Inner Power, Your Life Depends On It, explores the characteristics of those who possess an internal locus of control in her article, Take Charge of Your Life: Align With and Strengthen Your Internal Support System.
