Many of us want to control our lives, both 
outcomes and the people in it.

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,900
When we feel like we can’t do so, our stress 
levels rise.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,100
In fact, according to author Tim Chester,

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:26,000
research shows commuters experience greater 
levels of stress than fighter pilots and 
riot police—

5
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,700
mainly because commuters have less control 
over their situations.

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,300
Now, you’ll never be fully in charge of what 
comes your way—

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:39,600
but you can master your own self. As Dr. 
Caroline Leaf stated,

8
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:45,100
“You can’t control the events in your life, 
but you can control your reaction.”

9
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,200
So don’t waste energy attempting to direct 
what you can't affect.

10
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:55,500
Address your attitude and actions, and move 
on. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s
