"بدلاً من القلق بشأن ما لا يمكنك التحكم فيه، حوّل طاقتك إلى ما يمكنك إنشاؤه."
— Roy T. Bennett
Simplified Meaning:
Focusing on problems you can't fix wastes energy and makes you feel stuck. Imagine you're caught in traffic. You can't move the other cars, but you can listen to music or call a friend (hands-free) to make the time pass pleasantly. This shows that your energy is better used on positive actions you can take, rather than stressing over things beyond your control. In everyday life, this idea helps when you face situations like a job you didn’t get or bad weather ruining your plans. Instead of dwelling on disappointment, look for new opportunities or activities you can enjoy. For example, if it's raining and you can't have your picnic, you could set up an indoor picnic at home. By shifting your focus to what you can do, you feel more empowered and less stressed. This advice encourages creative thinking and positive action. Instead of feeling helpless, you transform situations into opportunities where you can grow or make something better. It's about choosing to be constructive rather than letting worries take over.
