Are you in control?

Happiness can be defined as when people are “in control”, that is, feel competent to satisfy their needs and reach their goals.

And how much do you depend on other people in your life to get what you perceive to be happy? Doing so obviously takes giving up a portion of this control to that person for that element of your life.

How much of your life can you really control? Do you try to control your entire life in order to achieve happiness or do you live each day as they come and take what you can get??

I am asking this because yesterday I had a salesman quit for a bigger better job and I realized…“HS! That puts me in a real pickle!” I realized how someone I depended on to help me realize my dream of a successful business (control it’s growth and direction) is now gone and has created a serious problem I need to solve to regain control.

With so many things really out of our control can we ever really truly be happy?
