No real fluff or pizazz on today’s post. Only facts.
Recently, I’ve been confronted with a reality of life. There is no such thing as controlling human beings and their actions.
My old football coach used to say, “Control the controllable.” When you’re a high school kid you have no real idea of what that means. It isn’t until you step into the real world and are hit with things that come straight out of left field. It’s easy to forget that people have their own motives and it’s easy to think that everyone sees the world the same way you see it.
This is just not true.
So what can you do about it?
Focus on your effort, focus on your vision and focus on your outputs.
Focus on learning new skills.
Find the white space, the gaps. Where is there an opportunity to grow personally or professionally?
You can only control your thoughts, your actions, and your level of commitment to a worthy ideal.
