DEF 06: You Can't Control Other People. You Can Only Control You.

You can't control other people. You can't make them what you want them to be. You can't make them who you want them to be. The only person you can control is you.

You become that person through one small decision at a time ... And who makes those decisions? Who makes those decisions? I do. You make those decisions.

Here's the deal: You can't control other people, and you shouldn't for one second think that you can.

When something goes wrong, when we don't do what we're supposed to do, when we fail in terms of our discipline on a daily basis, when we fail, when we drop the ball, when we don't get it done, it hurts our ego to admit that it was us.

People blame inanimate objects for their own shortfalls in life. Okay, the doughnut somehow snuck into my mouth.
