Locus-of-Control Check: How much influence are you actually living right now?
"Locus of Control" means: where you locate control over your life — within yourself or in your circumstances. In two minutes you'll see how strongly you're currently operating from influence, choice, and action rather than reaction. Afterwards you'll get one clear lever for today.
