This might be a bit twisted, but I've noticed how much I have insisted on control lately as well. But, the thing is, I have always thought I was a laisez-faire type of guy. WRONG... I always wanted things my way, or I pouted, or I got angry, or I got violent, or I withdrew completely. I can tell you, that did not work.
Lately, since being here, since reading thousands of pages of self help books, I notice that I watch and contemplate a lot more. I am in control... of what I can control. But I am beginning, just beginning mind you, to recognize the distinction between what I can control and what I cannot. This, I believe is key to a control freak like us. Identify what you may control and work on that. Simply watch and observe all else, and monitor how it affects those things that we can control, and be best prepared to exert that control with wisdom.
