deep and realize, Hey, this is just an inconvenience. It
doesn't define me, It doesn't change who I am. That's

Jew focus on what you can control. We can't control
everything in life, right the weather, traffic jams, people's opinions.

sound a little morbid, but hear me out. Recognizing our

is precious, wouldn't we want to spend it during things
that bring us joy and meaning. Let me paint you
a picture. Imagine your best friend walks into work after
a disastrous morning. They spilled coffee on their new shirt,
missed the bars, and got stark in traffic. They're feeling

(02:53):
completely overwhelmed, right, But then they remember what we've been
talking about today. They take a deeper acknowledge the frustration
without letting it consume them. They focus on what they
can control, their attitude, their actions, and decide to make
the best of the situation. They even see the humor
in it all. They realize that this one bad morning
doesn't define them, and that tomorrow is a fresh stop.

life with wisdom, resilience, and a whole lot of grace.
