Control – Who Controls YOU?

Control – Who Controls YOU? Who Does Control YOU? Each of us, everyone in this world and the universe, is controlled by something or someone. We all have a compass. It should be for the good of SELF but those around you and in YOUR community. How do YOU control YOU? Do you have a moral compass you follow? Do you have a Higher Power you follow? Or do you let the day control you instead of you controlling the DAY?

I always control my days – hate to get up in the morning and wonder what I am going to do today. I like being productive – and I want my life to be meaningful – and I want my children to see that I actively pursue a productive day. Have not had a television for close to 20 but I have internet and watch documentaries and some series. The TV is almost becoming a bad word in some homes – people are not buying the TV anymore like they use to. The TV can control the whole family and especially little children. Children that are the happiest children watch under 2 hours of TV a day.

Control – Who Controls YOU?

2 HOURS OR LESS A DAY FOR HAPPIER CHILDREN. TV can control-remember that.

Listed below are some other items that may control YOUR life:

Cigarettes

Alcohol

Telephone

Shopping

Cleaning

anything that takes YOUR attention away from being the parent.

STOP – play a board game, read together, read books and then have a discussion about the book.

Take a hike, make a garden, build a sanctuary in the backyard.

It is about YOU controlling YOU and YOUR children -not someone or something controlling YOU and YOUR children

Always keep in mind that addictions and control can be anything. Just being aware is how to keep everything in perspective. Life is Difficult like Dr. Peck said in his opening sentence of the: “Road Less Traveled”.

    Currently it appears like Drupal is the top blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the
    less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a
    year and am nervous about switching to another
    platform. I have heard good things about
    blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
