The Ross Simmonds Show Circle of Control vs. Circle of Concern
You've heard the boast.
--
"I'm too busy to watch TV."
"I'm too busy to stay up to date on the NFL."
"I don't have time to watch Netflix."

It's really a humble brag. And it's often misguided because the energy spent not "wasting" time usually just shifts to something that is ultimately just as wasteful...like engaging in activities, debates, and relationships that are out of our control.
If we want to be successful, this concept of the Circle of Control vs. the Circle of Concern is something we should focus on.
There are two things that we have in life that we can spend. Money and time.
And it's important that we don't waste our time.
The framework of the Circle of Control vs. the Circle of concern has fundamentally changed the way that I think about life.
