Knowing what’s within your control is the key to a focused and fulfilling life.

You can’t change the weather, delays, or someone else’s actions. But you can control how you respond, the choices you make, and the effort you put into today.

As Epictetus reminds us:

“Don’t look to uncontrollable externals for good or evil. Look within yourself, to your own choices.”

Stop fighting unwinnable battles. Focus on what you can change, and your actions in this moment. That’s where your true power lies.

What will you choose to control today?
