Ah, what everyone wants is… Control

 

Here is the real secret. It is what most people figure out sometime between 35 and moments before they die… and sooner is better!

You don’t get to control anything – except for yourself. And the ability to realize that will be the biggest leap in mind control for the masses.

The Future

The Future

To control anything beyond yourself would require two things.

  1. You would have to have the ability to alter other people’s minds
  2. You would have to know the future

You can’t get into other peoples heads. No one can. You never, ever, really know what anyone is thinking – so you don’t know their motivations for behaving in any certain way. Simply, you have no control over others because they are running, like you, autonomously.

Even outside yourself, you have little control over even the physical things that we keep as our servants. Because you are driving your car, are you “in control”? That very control is an illusion; the road conditions, other drivers, the car that you are driving in are all subject to variations that in any one of a multitude of ways is able to demonstrate that you have no real control.

Lastly, for true control, you would need to be able to see into the future – to know the result of your decisions, actions and reactions. We simply cannot control things because of a constantly changing, unpredictable, dynamic future.

So what do you have left then? You have control in yourself.

You get to control this

  • How you feel about things
  • How you react to things
  • What you do with all the input that comes into your head

That’s it. At the end of the day, you get to control the larger amount of what others wish they could control in themselves.

No one is responsible for controlling your happiness or sadness. You get to take charge of that area. You are in control of your emotions and what you do as actions and  reactions. You get to decide on your own beliefs, rules, thoughts and desires – and more.

The sooner you realize that most other people are running on the false belief that they are in control of things around themselves, the better you will be empowered to take control of the thing that they are missing – control (and responsibility) for yourself.

You alone are in control of who you are… enjoy it!
