Individual effort is the only thing you can reliably control.
We must focus on the process more than the outcomes -- which are more often than not determined by luck and other factors outside of our control. Do the best job you can, and if it doesn't work out, move on. If that's your bar for success, then your success is in your own hands.

It's easy to get distracted by outcomes because it's easier to answer 'Is this the result I expected?' than 'Was my process good?' even though it's the wrong question.

Your tweet has echos of Stoic Philosophy particularly Antipater's analogy. Other of your tweets are also very close to Stoicism. If you haven't realised this, you might want to look up e.g. Donald Robertson and modern Stoicism.pic.twitter.com/x4Bimzhbh1

This is also eastern (Vedic) philosophy as said by Krishna. Focus on the doing the “right” actions only and be not attached to the reward or outcome.
