You can't control everything around you.

But you can decide what
gets your attention next.

One of the fastest ways to lose performance is to spend too much energy fighting things you cannot control.

The market. The economy.

A decision someone else made.

A client who left. A mistake you can't undo.

I've learned the hard way that attention is expensive.

Whatever gets enough of it eventually starts affecting our decisions, our energy and our performance.

Perspective helps us ask a better question:

What can I actually do from here?

Not what should have happened.

Not what somebody else should do.

What is mine now?

That's where momentum starts again.
