So well how much control do you have in your life? Do you make your own decisions about yourself by youself or get second opinion? Do you wait for someone or something to happen before you decide on something? Do you let people know about your feelings or do you keep it yourself while they make the calls? I am asking about this becuase i want to take charge of my life, i want to do and achieve some of the things that i have thought off when i was younger. But as an adult i have got responsabilities which is controlling my life literally..So what`s your story about your life? Are you in control ? Or do you just let time passby and act according to situation?

I could say I am in control with my life now, I can decide on my own, though since I am already married, there are things that has to be decided both by me and my wife. So most of the time I need her opinion specially on things concerning our kids and the whole family.

Naturally, no human has full control of himself or his life... No matter the argument, one day anyone will convince him or herself that not everything in his or her life is under his or her influence... and this is what control of one's life is all about. As for me, as a human, am quite in control of many things in my life... though not all as a matter of fact.

Thats true, there is never a 100% control. We are all bound by the things around us..

I don't have much control over my life especially since I got married. It was fun trying to please my wife and I guess having responsibilities as a father helped to diminish my control over my own use of my time. It seemed to me that there were many things or people who owned me and my time. I didn't mind and I guess it is something to think about.
