What controls you?

I took very long time while answering your Question .. For me Jen it is my Health that allows me to do things i wish to. Like i can go anywhere, i can eat whatever i want, i can work overnight too as long as my health permits me. One more thing is Mood .. i can say this must be the Universal that too controls us. When you are in good mood you will do things you like to .. But when not in mood you tend to do things you don't wish to.

my bad health controls me & i hate it. it doesn't keep me from doing tho. i just do & then suffer the consequences. i know u have heard u can't keep a good woman down. my problen w/that i never convinced anyone i was a good woman. lol.

i think we all have controls and we need someone to remind us that we need to control that. self control sometimes does not work har har har. at my work there is our director who controls us on what are we doing and what we are going to do and wear but this is for the good of the group. at hope my wife freguently reminds me what to eat and what to drink. as we have heart failures and diabetes in our family. there are people who control me at work and at home but it was all for the good.

Hey Jen! What controls me is lack of money! And then I think laws would come next! Health would be in there further down! But, basically it is the lack of money! If I had enough money to just live comfortably, and I don't mean anything extravagant, just for the bare necessities like food, rent, utilities then I would be happy and I truly meant it!

I think that it controls me could not to do something example law,obligation and health.

Well,that depends.Most of the time,I just follow my heart because my thoughts weren't agains the law.As long as it doen't against the law,it is my heart and my mind that controls me I think.

What controls me? I guess, it would be soft, sweet, honest people who control me totally. I am much gullible to honesty and transparency. I think, I am completely mesmerised and bowled by the goodness of people. We are all but this has a flaw also. Many time, people fake it and use me and I have no clue about it! What about you?

What currently controls me is my financial obligations. If I didn't have bills to pay, loans to settle and a family to feed, I would probably not be stuck here in my current work, trying to make money to make ends meet. If I had a different source of money or there is someone supporting me and my family, then I would probably be traveling to different places with my husband and kids.

I think our teachings, learnings from the past and social norms in our society control us. We are bound by certain laws, norms and conventions and we should abide by it. If we do not and start doing our own, the social structure will get raptured and it is not a good scenario.

I am sure my culture controls me and my thought processes, on a practical level finances control where I am and what I can do. The times in which I live control much of how I live. These are just some of the many controls I have.

I would have to say that my emotions control me more than I would like to admit! LOL! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Is it necessary to answer your query? I mean this is one of the questions I don't want to answer. There is a devil inside me which uses to control me most of the time. When I feel that doing bad thing won't going to hurt me, I will do that. Kind of sabotage, you understand.

I would say that perfectionism is the one of the things I struggle against the most; it can be quite paralysing to have a fear on not being able to do something perfectly. Perfectionism leads to procrastination; as a person avoids risking failure he or she will keep putting doing things off. Money unfortunately is another 'controller' because there is a heck of lot I want to do but cannot afford to!

hai jen...., i am shibham from india. u have raised a good question. according to me my job( i am a college lecturer) prevents me from doing some wrongs. because in case of assam(my state), it is too hard to get a job, so i do not want to lose my job.secondly my patience controls me. i am never provoked by anything which may causes my offence. thanks.

i would have to say it,s my grasndson i can,t stand to see him cry are to see him in pain because i love him so much.when he falls and hurt himself i feel so bad for him.so now he know i love him so when he falls he calls me mama and come runing to me to easy his pain.i like to watching movies as well which i think has a lot of control of my time sometimes.

Dear friend, I hope in my case my own self control and patience in me controls most. May be the will power to control things are much needed. I feel it is ability of haveing good selfcontrol is that could control oneself.

I think that setting goals for yourself is very important. Healthy keeps me stringent on several levels. I want to live to a ripe old age and be healthy and in good shape. I don't feel like any of this is a control factor. It is just something that is very important to me and keeps me focused on a certain goal. Maybe I would feel differently about the control issue if I was still working.

Poor health would probably be the most "controlling" thing in my life, that and my age, but the two are related. My partner is also sick, and we cannot work because of it, and that restricts our income, since we have to rely on pensions which are barely enough to live on and maintain the property and service our mortgage. Every penny has to be counted and budgeted, and that is the most restrictive element that comes from the health issues. There are also distinct limits to what we can do physically, which makes the actual maintenance of our lifestyle difficult. An extensive food garden is out of the question simply because of the physical demands it puts on us. We do grow herbs and have a few fruit tress, but not the extensive garden we had planned on.

i think no one can control me and nothing can control me except myself. if i want to do something ,i will always make it done . but when i am lack of confidence ,things go worse and i will fail in something

Err, can i say that it's money? I think that it would be money for a lot of people because i have LOTS of things that i would love to do which requires money, and so here i am...sitting infront of my lappy...mylotting...unable to do the things that i wanna do...lol ^_^
