Focus on what you can control from "summary" of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

One of the key principles for being effective in life is to focus on what is within your sphere of control. This means recognizing that there are certain things that are beyond your influence, and instead of wasting time and energy on those, directing your efforts towards the things you can actually do something about. By doing so, you are able to channel your resources in a more productive manner and achieve better results. When you focus on what you can control, you are taking ownership of your actions and decisions. You are not allowing external factors to dictate your course of action, but rather taking responsibility for the outcomes of your choices. This sense of empowerment can be incredibly liberating, as it frees you from feeling like a victim of circumstances and enables you to proactively shape your own destiny. Moreover, by concentrating on what you can control, you are able to prioritize effectively. You are able to identify the areas where you can make the most impact and direct your attention towards those. This ensures that you are using your time and energy efficiently, rather than spreading yourself too thin trying to tackle everything at once.
