There are a lot of things in life that we can’t control. The weather, other people’s actions, the stock market, etc. It can be tempting to spend a lot of time thinking about these things, but it’s important to remember that we can’t control them.

Thinking about things we can’t control is harmful because it leads to anxiety and stress. When we worry about things we can’t control, we’re not actually doing anything to fix the problem. We’re just making ourselves more upset.

It’s important to focus on the things we can control. We can control our own actions and our own thoughts. We can’t control everything, but we can control how we react to the things that happen to us.

If we focus on the things we can’t control, we’ll never be happy. We’ll always be anxious and stressed. But if we focus on the things we can control, we can live a much more peaceful and happy life.
