A simple lesson it has taken me 43 years to learn.
To be honest, the two sentences I am about to share are very slippery.
They are the types of sentences that you learn, carry around for a few weeks or even a few months, but then forget. They fall right out of your head and a year later you bump back into them and learn them all over again. But I am convinced they are true and I am more than a little embarrassed it's taken me 43 years to learn them.
Ready? I think one of the best things you can do is:
1. Control the things you can.
2. Control your response to the things you can't.
Learn that today and tomorrow will be a lot easier.
