Focusing on What You Can Control

Written By DJ Taylor

As John Maxwell teaches, great leaders focus on what they can control: their attitude, effort, and energy. Ending the year with this mindset ensures you enter the new year with clarity and purpose.

Steps to focus on controllables:

  • When faced with challenges, ask yourself, "What can I control here?"

  • Commit to giving your best effort in every situation.

  • Practice daily habits that help you maintain a positive attitude and balanced energy.

Action Step:
Choose one area where you’ve felt overwhelmed this year. Write down three actions you can take to regain control.

Call to Action:
Join our GroundWork coaching program to master your controllables and achieve consistent growth.
