Nine things you do have control over that will make your life better.

This is, I think, one of the most important conversations to have,

simply because so much energy is placed on stuff that's beyond us, right,

that we have no control over, yet we ignore the strength within us,

the things that will actually transform our lives and push us forward.

You know, stoicism obviously places a lot of emphasis on differentiating between these two things.

Like letting go of what's not ours and, you know, really cultivating and strengthening what is.

And there's plenty of iterations.

One of my favorites and one of the most common, most well known is the serenity prayer.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things that I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

It's that idea that you have within you a superpower, but you have to stop looking outside, right, and pointing at the sky for stuff that's just not

yours, right?

So let's dive right into it. That's where the power is.

Nine things you can control that will change your life.

The first, and this is not going to be a surprise, mindset.

Why?

Because it doesn't matter if the sky's falling or the walls are crashing down.

How you think is yours.

It's your strength.

And no one said it better in my mind than Victor
