The world around you is out of your control. The facts that govern your life are mostly out of your control. The actions you take are often in response to motivations and needs that are largely out of your control.
What you do control is the story you tell yourself about what it means. You can always choose to paint a picture you believe in.
The evil empire is rising all around, you can see yourself as the rebel waiting for a chance to make a difference.
Falling behind at work looks exactly the same as a restructuring of priorities.
Recovery and exhaustion both look an awful lot like sleep.
Food can be either fuel or a leisure activity.
If you don’t like the facts, give them a different story then ask yourself what’s on the next page.
