We are very influenced by completely automatic things that we have no control over, and we don't know we're doing it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are things we can control and the things we can't control. I can't control how people react to the work I do.
We're all influenced by everything unless we're locked in an empty room.
Usually, we find it difficult to control our mind. It seems as if our mind is like a balloon in the wind - blown here and there by external circumstances.
We are living in a world that is beyond controllability.
Sooner or later we've all got to confront the reality that we have got to come to understand who we are and what we're doing, and the extent to which we are guided or manipulated by forces that are beyond our control.
The bottom line is: You are in control of your reactions to things and how you view things.
People don't realize how much control they do have. The more you can show them this control, the easier it is to tap back into the creative side of the brain that allows people to see possibilities and options.
I'm not the only person who has something in their life they can't control.
We know what we are supposed to do and we don't want to do it, so we do the exact opposite anyway. And, it never goes well for us when we do that.
Knowing that we can control our own behaviour makes it more likely that we will.
