Control; how many of us exercise it well and how many of us don't?  I heard a commercial today talking about another topic and they mentioned this word several times.  Too much control can become out of sync with who we are and can often lead to turning other people away from us.  In addition, not having enough control can lead to poor decision making or a sense of ambivalence.  Either one can get us out of balance and lead to circumstances that can overtake us.  One of the best ways to address it, to work on it in increments.  We should all seek well proportioned amounts of anything.  Life can throw a curve ball at us at any given time and just when we thought everything was under control, all of a sudden it is not.  By incrementally working towards achieving balance we are better able to sustain the unforeseen periods that could possibly throw us off balance.  Think about the word control as your ability to influence what you are capable of doing and try not to over achieve so much of it, that it tips the scales of your well being.
