What is “Locus of Control”?
“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” — The Serenity Prayer
Key Points:
- Understand your Locus of Control to separate what you can control from what you can’t.
- Trying to control everything that happens to you is a recipe for disaster and frustration, and a waste of time and energy.
- Focus on your efforts instead of results that you can’t control.
- Focus your energy on what you can influence, and let everything else go.
Questions for Consideration:
- What is within your influence or control? What is not?
- Are you focusing on things that are within your Locus of Control, or are you worrying about things you can’t do anything about?
