Things we can not control.
I have realized that we are mostly focused on the things we can't control just because we are bored with things we can control. Meanwhile, the things we can control are more important than most of the things we cannot control, because if you focus on the things we can control, it will help, shape the things we cannot control, and a perfect example of this is being worried about our future. After all, everybody is always worried about the future, just because is one of the most important things in life. What will your future look like? Is one of the common things people always worry about, and they can't control it.
The truth is we can't control the future, but we can shape how our future will look by doing what we can control and shaping the future. It might not just be the way we've planned it and also going our own way, but it will be better than doing nothing, and that is the power of controlling the things you have power over to control the things you cannot control. If you can invest your time and everything into your present moment, it will impact how your future will look. We have so many examples. Another example is how you want people to treat you.
You may not be able to control how people treat you, but you have complete control over how you treat others. The way you treat people can have a significant impact on how they treat you in return. While there will always be some who won't respond positively, treating others with kindness and respect will generally lead to a more positive outcome. As the saying goes, "You reap what you sow." While it may not always be true, it is more often than not. Focusing on what you can control, such as your actions and words towards others, can have a powerful impact on both controllable and uncontrollable aspects of your life.
We mostly focus on things we cannot control
When faced with unknown situations, many individuals tend to fixate on the aspects they have no control over, which can be overwhelming as it leaves the outcome uncertain. However, some people overlook the process and solely focus on finding answers. The process involves concentrating on things that can be controlled, which can put one in the best position to handle what cannot be controlled. By acknowledging and releasing the things that cannot be controlled, one can be better equipped to triumph over them.
I know it is not easy to let go of the things we cannot control because they look scary, and this is a result of us not having answers to them, we not knowing how it might turn out, but if we can let go of them and focus on the things we can control, it makes our life easier. It makes winning in this world easier for us, but not knowing we'll always stop us from focusing on things we can control, which are easier, and also a key to a happy life because most people who focus on things they cannot control and they are not happy sometimes. The key to happiness is knowing you cannot do some things and letting them go.

Most of the worry we experience is from putting much of our attention into the things we can't control. The future is a good example, as it is beyond our control. Yet we put much attention into it and forget to live in the present where we can control what we do.
Absolutely, our tomorrow will be better if we focus on our today, I guess that is why the bible asked us not to be worried about what we will eat tomorrow because it is not in our jurisdiction to know it not to even talk of controlling it.
Your thoughts on focusing on the things we can control is a great reminder to prioritize our energy and efforts on the aspects of life that are within our control. These examples you gave on how we can shape our future and how we treat others effectively makes this message effective and on point. Thank you for sharing.
