Control what you can: your prep, your sleep, your reply. Let the rest be weather.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Plenty of worry goes to things that were never going to answer to you. The decision someone else makes, the mood in the room, whether it rains, none of that shifts because you thought harder about it. What does answer to you is a short list, and it is usually the list you have been neglecting while worrying about the rest.

Write two columns tonight: what you control and what you do not. Put your effort in the first one and let the second be what it is. You will not stop caring about the weather, but you will stop trying to argue with it.
