INFLUENCE
CONCERN
We are concerned about many things in life. But out of all those things, there are only certain things that we can actually influence.
If we spend our time thinking and worrying about the things we are concerned with (but can’t influence), we get in anxiety and are absorbed in negativity.
If we concentrate on things that we are both concerned with AND can influence, we are positive, hard-working, and enthusiastic.
