Control

The irony of this issue of control is that I love to attempt to control everyone else, i.e. CA Dept. of Corrections, Julie, my immediate neighbors and even my family members, but throughout my life, it is quite evident that I have a exhibited a persistent lack of self-control. And I have a real issue of controlling my own temper, let alone anyone else, and when I am unable to force my will upon someone else that becomes a great issue of anxiety for me because subconsciously I believe the world revolves around me.

However, I guess recognizing this is an issue of paramount importance is a partial victory. I am working on correcting this and my real victory will be when I grasp the concept both intellectually and emotionally that the only person I can control is... me.
