" Do not let what is out of your control interfere with all things you can control"
I found this quote when reading a sports psychology. At the time I thought it just applied to the game of tennis but in reality it applies to all aspects of life.
When I set a goal and life and set the steps I need to take to get there, I often found that some of things I planned to do were out of my control. In tennis I can't control if my opponent shanks a tweener winner on match point or in school if three of my teachers schedule a test on Monday. If I were to focus on what I can actually control I could attain what I wanted- to win the match and to do well on the tests. Before I read this I would spend time thinking about why certain things happened when I couldn't control them. To be productive a person has to control what they can control and not focus on other things they can not. With that mindset a person's determination can take them anywhere in life.
