We draw circles around the things that we believe we can control, and as the boundaries shift, we keep trying to draw and redraw the same overlapping circles, desperate to keep everything in its place. It turns into a manic and futile exercise. So many things are out of our sphere of influence. We are vulnerable to the choices of our friends, our families, our customers, our investors.
