What Can You Influence Right Now?

Lloyd Munjanja explores how to focus on what you can influence today—and recognize that your ability to change things can grow over time.

Some challenges demand our attention even when we have little influence over them. Recognizing where we can act gives us a place to begin.

In conversation with Lee Bakewell, Lloyd Munjanja describes focusing on what he can influence at a particular point in his life. He also offers an important reminder: being unable to change something today does not mean it will always remain beyond your influence.

As your knowledge, relationships and responsibilities develop, new opportunities to make a difference may emerge.

An idea to put into practice

Choose one situation that has been occupying your thoughts.
