Sailing teaches you that you can’t control the wind, only the trim. Most of life is trim.

Conditions arrive on their own schedule and ignore your preferences. What stays with you is the set of adjustments: the angle, how much sail you carry, when you hold and when you ease. None of it changes the weather and all of it changes where you end up. Much of what looks like luck is somebody adjusting well in the same wind.

Split what is bothering you into the part you set and the part that is given. Then put your week into the part you set: when you study, how you eat, who you ask. Check in two weeks whether the same conditions still produce the same result.
