Many of us want to control our lives, both outcomes and the people in it.

When we feel like we can’t do so, our stress levels rise.

In fact, according to author Tim Chester,

research shows commuters experience greater levels of stress than fighter pilots and riot police—

mainly because commuters have less control over their situations.

Now, you’ll never be fully in charge of what comes your way—

but you can master your own self. As Dr. Caroline Leaf stated,

“You can’t control the events in your life, but you can control your reaction.”

So don’t waste energy attempting to direct what you can't affect.

Address your attitude and actions, and move on. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
