Control What You Can Control

I know, you want to control everything. But guess what? You can't.

You can’t control the weather.

You can’t control the stock market.

You can’t control the turbulence.

You can’t control the traffic.

You can’t control your favorite football team. Or their opponents.

You can’t control your boss. Or your boss’s boss. Or the board.

You can’t control your co-workers.

You can’t control your client.

You can’t control your partners. Or your children. Or your cousin.

You can’t control the news flow. Or the politicians. Or the warlords.

You can’t control the people on XTwitter. Or TikTok. Or Insta. Or LinkedIn. Or Facebook.

You can’t control the algorithm.

All you can control is you.

How you react to what’s out of your control.

How you deal with it.

How you plan.

How you take action.

Trying to control everything is the fastest way to frustration.

Controlling what you can control is the surest way to progress.
