He also has this very confident and strong personality and I am sure this is the reason why he is so successful, because of his mindset.

I wouldn't say I have a lot of things in which I'm fully in control, but I do have some percentage. One example is with this pandemic, sure I can do my part to sanitize, wear a mask, and social distance among many other things, but there still exists those who don't follow the rules and do whatever they want. I am only in control with this hardship when it comes to me.

A part that resonated with me is on page 43, it says "So what if you focus on what you can change? that's where you can make a difference" It is easy to get so overwhelmed with things out of your control that you lose motivation for the things you have control over, but you have to focus on the controllable things.

The quote that resignated with me is "If what's up to us is the playing field, then what not up to us are the rules and conditions.

"Choices that more often than not, do nothing to get us across the finish line" - That being said being around things that will have a negative outcome should'nt be surrounded by us nor our mentality.

A quote that resonates with me comes from page 43 which says, "If what's up to us is the  playing field, then what not up to us are the rules and conditions." This resonated because it shows how we can get pushed back by these already set-in laws, but can also make the best of the situation by improvising and creating new opportunities to complete what is in fact up to us.
