Circle of Concern

The "Circle of Concern" is a concept that helps individuals distinguish between what they can influence and what they cannot. It encompasses all the issues and problems that matter to us, such as health, relationships, or global events. Within this larger circle lies a smaller "Circle of Influence," representing areas where we can take action or make a difference. Focusing on our circle of influence encourages proactive problem-solving and personal growth, while dwelling on the wider circle of concern may lead to frustration or feeling helpless. Essentially, it promotes directing energy toward areas where effort can create positive change.
