You can’t control your employer, but you can control the type of employee you are.

You can’t control the family, but you have a lot of influence on the kind of family member you are.

You can’t control your friends in person or on social media, but you have the room to be the kind of friend you want to be.

Stephen Covey’s Circle of Influence is based on the idea that focusing on the things that an individual can control, rather than worrying about the things they cannot, leads to greater productivity, success, and happiness.
