Summary: This week I discuss a question that I've gotten in many forms over the years - a lot of the scenarios are so specific that it's hard to keep them anonymous, but they can be generalized as a bigger problem: how do I deal with being responsible for things that I can't fully control? I talk about a few times that I've experienced this in my own life, what techniques didn't work, and what strategies were more effective.
