What is one thing you have absolute control over? Well, you may not be exercising control over it at the moment, or at times, but potentially you are capable of having complete control over this.

Is it possible to craft a great day even if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Habits and rituals make kicking off a great day more likely. Sometimes it comes down to doing one thing as many achievers have found.
