Well said indeed. There's no point in worrying about things that are beyond your control. All you can do is focus on the things you can control and try to maximize your chances of success. I'm reminded of an old trading adage that I try to live by: trade to trade well, not to make money. Similarly, I would say: write to write well, not to make money. Focus on consistently putting out quality content that translates your passions to the written word!
