Control is an illusion of delusional minds.

(I resemble that remark, gratefully much less today.)

For me it comes down to what I cannot/should not control and what I can/should. I can control my bowel functions. I can control my big mouth. I can control my driving. I can control a lot of things pertaining to me. When I get into trouble is when I try to control things I have no business controlling, such as other people, traffic, the weather, the economy, social institutions, etc. I need to work the steps (1, 2, and 3) and talk to my sponsor and pray/meditate to have a grasp on control issues. The serenity prayer helps too.

Any time I am disturbed it is because I am trying to control an outcome. I really dislike being disturbed.

Take it please...thanks God.

I have learned and its been a lesson, that Gods will is always better then my own. I like His will be done in most matters though I think I know what I want it usually is delusional and dishonest.

 

Thanks for the replys just been having a heck of a time lately but more is being revealed.
