I'm not the only person who has something in their life they can't control.

A desire to be in charge of our own lives, a need for control, is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control.

We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond. Many struggles come as problems and pressures that sometimes cause pain. Others come as temptations, trials, and tribulations.

It's a lot like life. I think 99 percent of what goes on in life, we have very little control over.

The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.

You can't control where you were born, the family you were born into, what you look like; you can't control any of those circumstances. The only thing you can control is how you react.

There's only so much you can control in life.

I think that if you live long enough, you realize that so much of what happens in life is out of your control, but how you respond to it is in your control. That's what I try to remember.

One thing you cannot control is nature.
