Stuff you can’t control directly:
If someone else says “yes.”
What politicians decide.
The price of gas.
Stuff you can:
How many conversations you have.
Who you vote for.
What you buy, where you go, how you get there.
It’s important to both recognize and remember what you can control directly.
Not just intellectually, but emotionally.
Although it’s useful to discuss and debate the things over which you have no direct control, it’s not useful to lose sleep over them.
