There is another factor on control that seldom gets talked about. Many of us talk about about not being consumed about things we cant control.
What about things we let control us? Things we should be able to dismiss, but instead we let them determine our attitude or direction in life. These could be anger, jealousy, over-indulgence, and other emotions which effect our lives each day.
Romans 8:6-10 and Proverbs 16:32 discuss lack of self-control.
Emotional Intelligence also deals with inner and outer control and we will discuss this tomorrow.
In the meantime, let things go! When you are feeling overwhelmed by a negative emotion take a few minutes and reach out to God for strength and a tenacious spirit to overcome. He is the way to truth and light and will deliver us all from our sins.
This is not always easy to do. The good things are not always easy, but worth it. It is nearly impossible to do something positive while thinking about something negative so we need to get rid of these thoughts and emotions quickly. Going to God is the answer.
God Bless.

It's funny how things tend to mesh together. When we say Jesus will give us wisdom and words when we don't know what to say. The Situation that has transpired with my Mom and Kevin has been a mental and emotional struggle, to say the least. I found myself with much anger last night in regards to the lost souls who decided they should snatch someones material legacy in a matter of 5 minutes. As I was sharing this anger with my mom last night, something just popped in my head. "Do not let resentments make reservations in your mind and heart." Also,"You can't worry so much about what you can't control." I feel that being in touch with your god has given you the foresight to not only write meaningfull and helpfull leadership based things, but with your writing, you gave your son piece of mind last night that I might not have had if you hadn't reminded me about "Control". For that, I am extremely grateful. Your wisdom reach's further than you probably ever imagined. Keep it up Sir. I love you.
