Capacity Over Control. When life shifts without warning.

A job you were sure about changes direction.
A project you invested in gets deprioritized.
A plan you mapped out for months falls apart overnight.

Most of us respond the same way:
We tighten our grip, push harder, and try to control the uncontrollable.

But control is the most expensive illusion we hold.

Here’s the shift:
Control isn’t mastery. Response is.
We can’t control timing, recognition, or decisions.
We can control how we show up, communicate, and adapt.

Try this today:

When something unexpected happens (good or bad):
• Hold your thought for 60 seconds before reacting.
• Think/Write down one thing you can control here.
• Ask: “What does this situation allow me to do differently now?”

That turns chaos into clarity, by response and not by force.
That’s how you build resilience: Capacity Over Control.

What’s one unexpected turn that, looking back, shaped you for the better?
