In Chapter 2 of The Gymchiridion we look at the importance of focusing on what we can control–the choices we make regarding our own behaviour.

It’s only when we focus our effort beyond our own choices that we open ourselves to the anxiety of failure. Failure is always a possibility. By focusing on our own behaviour we remove the sting of failure and become much more effective in our efforts.
