Life's Lesson #2 — Only worry about the things that you can change
I'd venture to say that most people spend their time talking and worrying about things they can't control while overlooking the things they can.
While I have no control over whether it will rain or not, I do have the choice of standing out in it.
If circumstances are making you feel down, look for things you can change and influence.
You don't like how the company you work for has changed from what it was? then go look for another job.
You have to make every effort to come to terms with and move past the things that cannot be altered and spend your energy on the areas you can.
