Control is dependent on the story we tell ourselves.
We can believe that we can control our culture or not. We can believe we can control what time we wake up or not. We can tell ourselves different stories about promotions at work – whether it’s in or out of our control.
My two cents: Make it out of your control when it benefits.
You can set an alarm on your phone and believe it’s out of your control to turn it off. You can say it’s out of your control to sit back and do nothing to improve our culture. You can tell the story of getting a promotion by helping other people more often.
It’s all in our control, one way or another, unless we believe it’s not.
Stay Positive & Take Control When It Benefits
