We all want to know what’s going to happen next, and we prefer that it happen according to our plans. That certainty makes us feel secure, but it’s not realistic because we can’t know all the variables.

Planning matters, but countless unpredictable factors can derail even the best plans. There are some decisions you simply can’t make today.

Make your plans, but focus more on what you can control today. The best thing you can work on today is your habits. When we don’t consciously monitor our habits, they end up determining results more than any plans we make.
