If we go back to Covey, and Habit #1, being proactive means taking responsibility for your outcomes. You’re the captain of your ship.
But you can only control what you can control.
You need to recognize when things are outside of your control, and adjust your mindset accordingly. Trying to overreach that sphere of influence won’t do you any favors.
On today’s episode, I speak with my friend Andy Racic about understanding the difference between taking ownership and driving yourself insane.
It’s a fine line sometimes.
I’ve been told since early in my career, “Don’t get too high with the highs or too low with the lows.” It took me a long time to appreciate what that means. Ultimately, it means you get to choose how you feel about things. When you focus on the things within your control, and ignore the emotions that get caught up in your results, you tend to deliver better results and save yourself a lot of strife along the way.
How often do you find yourself out of balance?
What do you do to right the ship?
