Circle of Influence
The Circle of Influence refers to the areas or issues where you have direct control or impact. It helps distinguish between what you can change and what is beyond your control. Focusing on your circle allows you to use time and energy effectively, working on things you can influence. For example, you can control your actions, responses, and attitude, but not other people's decisions or external events. By prioritizing your Circle of Influence, you become more proactive, reduce stress, and increase the likelihood of positive outcomes. It encourages taking responsibility for what you can change and accepting what you cannot.
