You can’t cancel the rain. You can pack the umbrella. Put your energy where your hands can reach.

Some things are simply going to happen, and no amount of worry adjusts them. Effort spent on the weather is effort taken from the preparation, which is the only part that was ever yours. The division is not always obvious, but it is usually findable.

Take whatever is worrying you and split it into two lists: what you can act on, and what you can only meet when it comes. Do one thing from the first list today. Let the second list exist without requiring anything from you tonight.
