It's good to focus on the things that are within your control. It's easy to focus and pay attention to things outside of our control. What happens when we do this though is we tend to fall off a little bit.

My voice is also pretty weak right now, but I know that I need to focus on what I need to prioritize. 

I can control:

  • Time I put into my podcast
  • Time I go to bed
  • Time I put into researching guests

But there are some things that are not in my control. 

I cannot control

  • External events I wasn't aware of until the moment - what's done is done
  • How people respond to me
  • The weather outside

When I remember this I am much more able to enjoy things - because I put the bulk of my energy into things I'm able to control - instead of things that can change out of nowhere.

Accepting this brings freedom.
