To be successful, focus your energy and mental bandwidth only on the things you can control.

Today's world of technology has created enormous opportunities for you to accomplish anything you want to in life. Ironically, it has created equally as many barriers to prevent you from achieving those things. Each of us has a very finite amount of energy and a limited amount of mental bandwidth. We are surrounded by negative influences that can rapidly drain both. The TV is filled with bad news from around the world; social media overflows with everyone screaming about how evil everyone else is; the pandemic drags on, and the price of everything you buy is going up. It is way too easy to be overwhelmed and to just shut down. The hardest thing to realize is that you personally have nearly zero control of any of those things. Yet, you spend an enormous amount of energy and bandwidth dwelling on them. In today's episode, we focus on how important it is to shut yourself off from those things and spend your energy exclusively on the things in your life that you can control.
