Take Ownership and Control What You Can

To perform our best and reach our goals, it is crucial to recognize that we have control over the decisions we make in our lives. This means taking ownership of our actions and believing that we can influence our circumstances. It involves identifying what we do have control over, even if we can't control external factors.
