TWO SIMPLE WORDS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Discover the fastest way to take back control

- STORY BY MEL ROBBINS

LIKE ME, you probably spend more time than you'd like navigating crowded airports, delayed flights and tight connections. Let me introduce you to two words that have forever changed how I feel about airport lines, missed flights and inconsiderate strangers: Let Them. These two simple words will not only change your entire approach to business travel—they're going to change your entire approach to life. The Let Them Theory is a simple mindset tool I discovered that millions of people use every day to take back control of their lives. Here's how it works: The moment you're in a frustrating situation—in a meeting, on a plane or with your spouse—and something starts to bother you, just say: Let Them.

Your flight is canceled? Let Them. Your bags don't make it? Let Them. The lines are long at the car rental desk? Let Them.
