Control What YOU Can Control
Good morning crew.
Hey, it's Monday, early February, Nashville's, looking beautiful, the sun is out, super pumped about what's going on the community this week. So wanted to come in for our fly in formation for today. And what that is, if you're new here, this is like you see geese flying south for the winter, right? They're flying in formation, there's an alignment there, they're going in the same direction. So what we do is we gather briefly each morning and share a quick thought that aligns how we're flying in our individual groups.
So today, I want you to think about one thing, and that is the idea of control what you can control. And this is something that a lot of people get tripped up with. A tell to know if somebody is able to do this, is watching their words, you hear a lot of people complain, wish, blame, say, if only this or one day, I'll do this. And those are the people that are stuck in the “uncontrollables.” They're kind of inverted. So what we want to do is focus on the other side of the ledger, these are the things that we can control. Right? These are things that we can complete, maybe just you and maybe you and your team, and maybe you and your mom-ager, whatever it is, but you can control these things.
So if you're new, a good way to start to use this lens, is just to divvy up a piece of piece of paper. And simply, spend 10 minutes getting quiet, getting focused and saying, Look, here are the things I CANT control on the right, and mark them out, spend 10 to 20 minutes, just listing out the things you can’t control today. And then the other side of the paper, do the things that you CAN control, I can control X, Y, and Z.
Most people think much too big. They're thinking about the boulders instead of the pebbles.
Most people think much too big. They're thinking about the boulders instead of the pebbles. So we want to be thinking about, okay, these are the pebbles that we can control today.
