Control Your Controllables
In life and business there is a lot of noise...a lot of distractions...a lot of stuff going on around us all of the time. Stuff that does not matter or stuff that will not get us closer to accomplishing our goals. People and things are pulling and pushing on us all of the time. The key to success is not getting distracted by the noise and remaining focused on doing those few things but most important things that we can control and that also matter.
Look closely at the illustration. There are only a very few things we can both control and matter.
When you think about your health and safety for example, what are those things that matter which we can control?
Wash your hands. Don’t text and drive. Always wear your seatbelt. Eat healthy…\. Get plenty of sleep.vExercise.Get an annual physical. That’s pretty much it. That is all we can control. No sense worrying about the other stuff. Focus on this stuff and do it religiously.
My challenge is simple. What is it that you are trying to accomplish in life and business...what is it you are trying to accomplish in your F5 (Faith-Family-Friend-Fitness-Finance)? Write down a list of those things that MATTER and that you can CONTROL. Then focus and do those and ONLY those...and don’t be distracted by everything else...don’t be distracted by the noise.
