“The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome.”

Simplified Meaning:
We can do our best to set things up for success, but after that, we need to accept that we can't control what happens next. Imagine you study hard for a test. You do all your homework, pay attention in class, and review your notes. This means you’ve prepared as well as you can. But once you finish the test and turn it in, it's out of your hands. You can't control how the teacher will grade it or if there are unexpected questions on the test. So, it’s about doing everything you can to prepare and then being at peace with whatever result follows. In life, this helps us manage stress and worry because we focus on what we can control and let go of what we can’t.
