Control is a subtle thing... it sneaks up and disguises itself in all kinds of good intention. We are meant to look at how WE need to and CAN change within this program. If I am controlling another person there is an automatic element of "judgement" involved. If I need to control you then this means I have judged you in need of living life as I see fit. This is a very human tendency --- we are always trying to one up our Higher Power and other folks' Higher Powers without even being aware of it. I've done it a million times.
I've thought I knew best. I've thought I knew best FOR OTHERS. I've thought I had the answers and found I was mistaken. The words that help me mind my own business most are the ones that suggest we are right where we are supposed to be. If this is true then who am I to tell anyone where I think they ought to be. I work at this constantly. I'm human. So is everyone else I know. I'm in good company.
