People that try to control everything in their lives are coming from a place of fear. Control freaks are the most out of control people that there are. I know because I used to do it. Life is much better when you just go with the flow instead of trying to control the flow. The whole issue of control is only an illusion.

Thank you so much for all of the feedback! Doug - I totally agree with you that trying to exercise too much control on the situation around you can be harmful. I don't think this post has too much to do with control, though, more so with the topic of endurance and not giving up under any circumstances. You cannot completely control your life consciously, but what you certainly can do is guide it, and I think that's really the key. Perhaps Cameron's use of the word: "control" isn't quite well placed, but I think I gather what you're saying, Cameron - people definitely have a choice. Patricia - excellent response! Goals SHOULD be realistic and obtainable! Very interesting thoughts, everyone! Wow, guys. Thank you so much for all of the feedback!

You are life(!!!) Be life and be free. Control causes a lack of freedom The idea of "control" is based on fear, the fear that if you don't control something, it will act on its own and may , of all things, disagree with you. The concept of control shows a lack of faith that all is going according to plan and that nothing can hurt you. What you control, controls you. If you hold on to an animal, it might resent your control and hurt you. the same is true of life. and by controlling it, you restrict it from serving your needs Don't control life or you will find that you will lose your freedom. Relax. When a situation is inevitable such as what life gives you to benefit you, simply relax and enjoy it. And by no means should you control anything, such as a woman or she will make your life a hell on earth. NEVER CONTROL(!!!!!!) Doug p.s. Nor allow control such as with a dictatorship. The idea is to master not control. To master is to surrender to reality. Doug Scott, You neither want to control life nor have life control you.

I'm with the former. I think it comes down to whether you want to control your life or let life control you. I’m with the former.

Goals should be attainable and realistic and not totally consume your life. We always need time to just be. What we need to do is give up the struggle which is resistance to what is and just go with the flow. Goals give us something to focus on and some need goals. Others don't. I am enjoying the stories that I am finding on the Personal Stories of Change Blog Carnival: Edition 2. Doug has an interesting point of view on goals.

When your mind is occupied with a goal, You aren't free to be spontaneous. A goal is a concept. It limits rather than freeing. We put goals beyond our reach. That's the nature of it. And while we are looking out there for the result of our searching, we are not here, where we are now. If we are not here now, we are no where. Why engage in an ambition like that? Be here now where life is. people who have goals, are uncomfortable to be with because their minds are occupied with their "goal". They don't have time to relax, and their goal is a moving target, always moving away from them. Having a goal is another way of saying: I'm not here because my goal wont let me be here. Be a child. children are always here now and they just play and are happy while the "adult" with the goal is too busy to be happy. Goals suck. They are dictators making us artificial and unhappy. Goal oriented people become dictators themselves. Who needs them? Doug Rosbury Having goals is unrealistic. When your mind is occupied with a goal,
