What can you control?

So often we try to control the things that we can't control, while we pretend we can't control the things we can.

We try to get other people to do or say or think differently, while we act like that cheese cake just ended up in our mouths or that our wallet clearly has a hole in it and that's why we're in debt.

It's like trying to cover the whole sky with a tarp to keep it from raining, while the holes in your boat get bigger.

Don't confuse the sky for your own boat.
