Control - A Powerful Tool To Manage Your Ego!

There is nothing more frightening than the thought of losing control. That's why most people avoid potentially stressful situations by practicing relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga and positive thinking. But how do you know when and if control is truly in your control? Is control an illusion? In this article, I will reveal what I mean.


To be able to control something, you must perceive that control is actually in your hands. If you don't, then control is simply an illusion. There, said that.

Now, you might be wondering, "What about control of things like your mind?" Well, it is also an illusion, except that instead of controlling what happens in your mind, you are merely allowing the mind to control you. For example, you can have some control over a certain things, such as your mind, but only absolute total control is impossible. Take for example - you're not in complete control of your mind.

Let's say, for example, that you're trying to write a very important article. You have this idea in your head, and you have all of your facts lined up. However, you don't get any writing done. Why? Because control is simply impossible in this situation, because there's no one in your mind to tell you when and how to write the article.

The same thing goes with your body - when you do anything that you perceive as control, such as biting your nails, wearing sexy clothes, driving a car, or whatever it is that you think you can control, you're fooling yourself. That thing doesn't exist in your mind! It is, only a mental construct, an idea, or a wish. The thing that you think you can control isn't controlling you.

Now, let's look at controlling our minds. When we control our mind, we control our life. Think about the last time that you got into a huge fight with somebody in school. You might have had some control over the situation, but ultimately, you lost. Why? Because you're in control of your mind - your thoughts, feelings, and emotions didn't allow you to remain calm and focused enough to put away the weapon, and you let your ego take over.

When we control our mind with thoughts, we control our life. What happens when we allow our ego to control us? Well, for one thing, we'll often act without thinking, and we make mistakes that we later regret. Also, we may experience depression, or anger - all out of nowhere! If we allow our emotions to rule our actions, instead of using our mind to think logically, we'll never be successful!

Here's the bottom line: the best way to control a person, is to control our own mind, not the other way around. If we can learn to control our emotions, and turn those negative thoughts into positive ones, we'll be able to gain more control over our lives. We'll also be happier, healthier, and more successful in our endeavors. Emotionally healthy people are happier, healthier, and live longer!

The first step is to accept your ego - don't try to fight it, but rather, allow it to dominate you. If you feel that controlling your emotions is an overwhelming concept, look at how you act right now. What are the results of what you are doing right now? Is your behavior productive and leading somewhere? If so, that's great - you're on the road to control!

Now, let's step back from this notion of control, and think about the importance of ego in all aspects of life. For instance, if you want to succeed at something, you need to put your ego on the side, and focus on reaching your goal. It's very easy to get sidetracked by all of your goals - what's the point of focusing on all of your goals at once if you are not going to reach them? Focus on one thing at a time. When you have control of your mind and actions, the results you want will begin to appear.

And finally, you must realize that you are the master of your thoughts, and your actions - not the other way around! If someone else tells you what to do, you should question their motives. There are many benefits to learning proper control techniques. One of the best is to improve your self-confidence.


The more confident you are, the more control you will have over your thoughts and actions! This will lead to happiness and success in all areas of your life. Start right now - it is time to take charge of your life and start the journey toward total control over it!
