Control what you can control 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.
