ONE of the significant lessons I picked up when I was still studying was the value of adopting a solution-based mindset. I was helping out as a production assistant in a church activity and there were several snafus backstage. But our floor director was ever so calm and gave quick solutions to whatever problem came along.
An example is your workplace which can be your circle of concern, and your circle of influence includes the others in the office and how they behave toward you, your productivity in a team setting, or even your reputation. Under the circle of influence, you can indirectly affect your coworker’s behavior toward you but in the end, you cannot control how they react. Further within the circle of influence, others have included a smaller circle which is the circle of control.
Take the case of promotions. You can always prepare all your documents and do everything you can to do your work well. But if the organization is not ready, or if your manager has reservations with regards to your promotion, you can exert some degree of influence. But in the end, it will still depend on other factors that are not within your full control.
Aside from proactively looking for solutions, knowing your circle of control helps you worry less. Glenn Turner, the legendary cricket player, once said, “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.” Instead of wasting time worrying about things that might happen, or on people who behave erratically, you can focus on your thoughts and emotions and find ways to manage them.
