We all want to control what happens to us and the way we live. We want to be able to control whether we go to bed, whether we work, which restaurants we eat at, what we wear, whether we drink, and what we drive. Even though you may have the ability to do this, sometimes it’s the thought that comes to mind that gets you through the day.
Our own lives are a bit like that. We really want to be able to control the way our lives play out, but often we just let our minds wander. We have that thought we want to do something, but we just don’t. Then while we’re driving home from work, we have this thought that wants to go to the gym, but we just let this one thing go.
This is a common pattern, and it goes a long way toward explaining how we can take a huge amount of action without even realizing we’re doing it. Some people get this way through their teens, and many older people, but I’ve found that it is common in younger people.
I would say this is why we get so obsessed with our cars, our phones, our computers, and our other devices. We take on so much of our lives and yet fail to think of ourselves as the ones who get to decide what those things do. It’s like we’re so immersed in the world of our devices that we forget we’re the ones who have to take control of them.
i would say this is why i’ve seen so many people die. I’ve seen a lot of people do things that I can’t help but think are stupid or bad, but I can never really think about them as I am immersed in the world of everything i’ve ever owned. But it’s not just people who are stuck in this loop, but even the things we buy as well.
Like a lot of technology, our phones, tablets, laptops, and computers are so much more than we think they are. But so much of what makes us who we are is the technology that we use. Our phones make everything we do more likely to end in a horrible way, and most of the things we download are just as bad as they sound. Now, I don’t think I can live without my phone, but I can’t live with myself if I don’t have my voice.
That’s like saying you don’t need to have your own laptop, or that you don’t need to have a new car, or that you don’t need a new TV or blender. All you need is an old, crappy computer. We all want to take back control. But we have to keep in mind that things that are more in our power to take away the control are usually more effective in controlling us.
The problem is that we arent usually in control of our own lives. We are in control of the things that we cant control. I am not a big fan of the word “control” because it implies that there is a one-size-fits-all solution. But that is not true. People who try to control their lives often end up being controlled by their own actions. Many things that are not going to kill us can kill us.
The problem with control is that it is rarely, if ever, effective (or even helpful) when it comes to managing our lives. How many of the things that we do every day that arent killing us could kill us, and how many of them could be stopped by a few extra seconds? We are, in fact, as powerful as we think we are. We need to take the time with every decision that can influence the outcome of our lives and figure out what will work best.
This is basically the same idea as the “Don’t ask” question from the movie ‘The Matrix’. If we take the time to figure out what is going to work in our lives, we can then apply those same skills later to other things that are going to kill us.
