Kindle Notes & Highlights
You must be aware of what you can and can’t control. Don’t become sad when things which you can’t control don’t work according to your plan. Don’t confuse what you can and can’t control. Not everything is out of your control. There are a lot of things that you can control that will improve your life. You have control over your mind. You have control over the amount of hard work you do. Worrying about things you can’t control will make your life miserable.
Avoid taking a nap
after 3 pm. You may find it difficult to sleep. Also, if you sleep too much during the day, you may have trouble sleeping at night.
“You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”
“If you don't know what port you sail to, no wind is favorable.”
If you work a lot and still are not able to achieve your goals, there could be two reasons: 1) You may not be working as hard as you think. You may be lazy most of the time and think you’re working hard. 2) You may be working on the wrong things. You could be working on less important things. Things that don’t matter that much. You spend most of your time on minor things but don’t do the challenging and essential things.

“You are the average of the five persons you spend the most time with.” — Jim Rohn
The people you surround yourself with will have a massive impact on your life.
Make a new rule to never worry about anything that you can’t control, and if you can control it, then act immediately and do something about it. In both cases, there should be no worry.
