Life is complex.
It’s impossible to know for sure how things will turn out.
Sometimes our best decisions result in our worst outcomes. Other times we’re pleasantly surprised by luck.
It’s easy to fall into dismay and feel that we have no foothold in a world that holds so much uncertainty. But I propose that instead of focusing our attention on matters of probability, we instead double down on the one thing we do have full control over, the tone we bring to our work.
Today. This moment.
If you can confidently say that you’ve given your best to this project or that relationship, what more can you ask?
Stick with what you can control.
