I only have control over what I do.

You have to take control of your own career.

I don't want to have my life fall apart for my work.

Is an out-of-control life challenge making you feel 'out of control' over your entire life? If so, stop lying around doing nothing. Stop sleeping late. Stop watching too much TV. Start recognizing that this lack of a disciplined schedule will only increase your feelings of being out of control of your life.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

You have to eventually grow up and take control of your life, which is very hard to do.

I don't want anyone controlling me.

I am not one of those people who lives for work. I enjoy sculpting and photography and tennis and swimming. I simply do not have enough time. My life is not in control.

Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.
