Here are 10 things you can’t control in life (and a reminder to focus instead on how you respond to them):

1. The past – What’s done is done; you can only learn from it.2. The future – You can plan, but you can’t predict outcomes.3. Other people’s actions – You can’t make someone behave a certain way.4. Other people’s opinions – You can’t control what they think or say about you.5. Time – It moves on, whether you like it or not.6. Weather and nature – Rain, storms, disasters—all outside your influence.7. Change – Life constantly shifts, whether you’re ready or not.8. Uncertainty – There will always be unknowns and surprises.9. Mortality – Aging and death are part of the human experience.10. Circumstances you’re born into – Family, culture, genetics, and origins aren’t chosen.
