Control What You Can Control

There’s a lot that’s not in your control. 

Other people. The weather. The laws of physics.

But there’s so much that IS in your control:

• How hard you try

• How many attempts you make

• How resourceful you are

• The strategies you choose

If you control enough of the variables, your result has no choice but to occur. 

A control freak is someone who tries to control what they can’t.

But by controlling what you can control, you’re the opposite of a control freak because you don’t need any particular conditions to get what you want.

You don’t rely on any one person to do anything.

You don’t need perfect timing or ideal circumstances.

You remove the pressure for any single action to work, because you're controlling the number of chances you get.

So are you doing what it takes to hit your goal? 

Are you controlling enough of the variables?

If you’re not seeing the progress you want yet, the answer is no.

And the solution is simple:

Go take control, baby.
