What you can and can’t control

Good Morning Team,

As the primary season comes to an end and the general election gets ramped up, I'm aware of the emotions and frustrations we experience when we observe the political landscape.  As one who used to get very wrapped up in this (as the wife of a former political candidate) I now have grown to understand something very profound to me,  there are a lot of things in this world that are just outside our control and the best we can do is stay in our lane, focus on the things we can control and forget the rest. I'm not saying don't try and change the world, but understand what you can change and don't become consumed with what you can't. 

"Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can’t control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.”

― Epictetus

Have a Great Week!!!!
