How much of your stress, anxiety, and frustration comes from trying to control things you really cannot? The actions of others, unexpected changes, circumstances that blindside us. Trying to control these things is like chasing the wind. But when we shift our focus from what happened to how we can respond, we maintain agency and preserve energy. This does not mean we become passive or pretend hard things do not matter. It means we stop giving our best to what we cannot change and start applying it to what we can influence. Knowledge is understanding the difference; wisdom is acting on that and releasing the rest.
