• Re: Do you fully control yourself?

  The ironic thing is that I've always thought I had a great deal of self control in my actions (ask my brothers). In some ways I thought that hardships and difficulties would teach me discipline. And it has for the most part. But it sounds to me as if you mean that I should simply not care about certain things? I do see the wisdom in your Vulcan-like logic, however I don't think that your suggestion would lead to more control over my life.

  I think I was a bit ambiguous w/ my response. I'm not exactly saying not to care about certain things, because that would be lying to yourself. I guess what I was saying was to not let those things affect you and hinder you're trying to accomplish in the long run.

  I would prefer the word "discontent" over "unhappy". It is mostly stuff I put up with and the stress from those things. I would categorize majority of them as external. I guess it is the struggle between what I want vs. what I can get, and how my environment influences the conflict. I don't want to play the victim but I feel as though I'm on the losing side. I try very hard to find more satisfaction in what I do and to fight the things that weigh me down.
  
  
  
  Sorry for the ambiguity, but mentioning specifics in public might not be in my best interest.
