We all have unique talents and abilities.  We all have particular likes and dislikes.  We get introduced to people, places, and things through experiences that lay outside our known sphere and we refine our likes and dislikes.  It may even cause us to initiate a willingness to be trained in a new skill. We have a physical body which determines our physical sphere.  We have an energetic sphere which extends outside our physical body. We operate from a limited sphere because we live in a limited reality.  God has a limitless sphere.  When we check in with ourselves about what we can control and what we cannot, it is helpful to think about our sphere of influence. There are many things we would like to be able to control which lie outside our domain.  There are people and experiences we do not want to take responsibility for allowing inside our sphere.  We sometimes find it easier to focus on what lies outside our sphere of influence than take responsibility for what lies within it.  We can distract ourselves by expending energy and exhausting ourselves with the things we cannot control.  We fall for the illusion of control by working so hard to bring within our sphere those things which will not fit.  Those are the very things we need God for.  God’s realm is limitless and is the power we need to effectively guide us so we can cultivate the power within our own sphere and use it effectively.  We can limit the excess energy used up by trying to effect things outside our sphere.  As a mentor of mine once put it, there are three kinds of business: mine, others, and God’s and the only one I need to concern myself with is mine.
