Focus on what you can control from "summary" of Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop
If you're like most people, you probably spend a lot of time and energy worrying about things that are beyond your control. You obsess over the future, stress about the past, and let external circumstances dictate your mood and behavior. But here's the thing: all of that is a waste of time and energy. When you focus on what you can control, you shift your attention to the things that actually matter. You stop getting caught up in hypothetical scenarios and start taking action in the present moment. Instead of being a passive victim of your circumstances, you become an active participant in your own life. So, what can you control? The answer is simple: yourself. You can control your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions. You can choose how you respond to the challenges and opportunities that come your way. You can decide to let go of the things that are holding you back and embrace the things that will move you forward. When you focus on what you can control, you empower yourself to create the life you want. You stop waiting for permission or validation from others and start making choices that align with your values and goals. You take ownership of your happiness and well-being, instead of relying on external sources for fulfillment. It's not always easy to focus on what you can control. It requires self-awareness, discipline, and a willingness to let go of old habits and beliefs. But the payoff is worth it. When you stop wasting your energy on things you can't change and start investing it in things you can, you'll be amazed at how much you can accomplish. So, the next time you find yourself stressing about something beyond your control, take a step back and refocus your attention on yourself. Ask yourself what you can do right now to make a positive difference in your own life. And remember: the power to change your circumstances lies within you.
