Control is an art.
"To control attention means to control experience, and therefore the quality of life."- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Control is "the power to influence or direct people's behaviour or the course of events." If there is no control, there will not be any positive direction
If you are not in control of your process, you will lack control of life and will not be able to make any significant headway.
You must learn the art of being in charge of your process so that the things that matters to you will be essentially about quality rather than quantity that will impact nothing.
Don't get carried away with the attention you receive whenever you hit a small milestone. Be sure you know what needs to make you dance and what needs to make you sway.
Not every win deserves a wild celebration.
To control the attention that comes your way, means to control experience, and therefore the quality of your life. if you can control what comes to you fro the outside, you will be able to control, what you give out.
