You Really Don't Control Much So Now What...

We all hear things like "Control what you can control" but what does that actually mean? Right now the world seems to be throwing so much at us that it can be hard to even know where to put our energy and focus. We hear crazy news stories and it seems like things are spiraling out of control whether that be politics, current events, potential wars and so on. If we allow it to, these things will consume a ton of time and energy and leave us feeling helpless but as much as we may hate to admit us, there's very little we can do as individuals to fix it. On the other hand, there are very FEW things that we actually can control despite how hard we may try. We can't control the people around us. We can't control certain circumstances. However, these very few things that we can control are absolutely vital. In this episode, Derek walks you through his experience and his ongoing learning about how to focus on what is controllable. Hint: it's not much but if you realize what is controllable, it'll be an absolute game changer!
