Today is the day! Do your best right now, within your circle of influence. Let go of everything else.

In Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," the "Circle of Influence" refers to the areas of one's life where you have control and can directly impact outcomes, essentially representing the things you can actively change or influence through your actions and behaviors, as opposed to "Circle of Concern" which encompasses things you worry about but cannot control; the key idea is to focus energy on expanding your Circle of Influence by focusing on what you can control rather than dwelling on what you can't
