Let's just stop telling people what they SHOULD think.
This post is an excellent case in point.

We do have control to some degree. For example, if you go to the game tonight and boo your own team for the entire night, they will respond in like with their on field performance and it won't be pleasant. However, if you go to the game and cheer them on and get behind them, they have proven they can lift and numerous times last year and this year comments have been made by the players and coaching staff in reference to the crowd involvement. See, some things are fairly simple! :wink:

Focus on the things you can control. Don't worry about the things you can't.
"Control" is an illusion. If you have any doubts, feel free to check out the movie Instinct, which shows why, very well. It's also a good movie, with Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jnr. Well worth a look. Enlightening.

I can control what I type in this post.

I can't control what you think of it.

Or is it an illusion that I have control over what I'm typing?

Care to explain the control is an illusion thing? Cuba Gooding Jr went downhill after Jerry Maguire so I know I won't watch it.

It's regarded as his best work and it's a good movie, it shows it very well, better than I would probably explain it. If you still think it exists after watching it, please get back to me. If you learn this lesson from it it would make watching the movie very well worthwhile for that lesson alone. It can take a big load off.
And I imagine there would be medical conditions that could affect what you type. Just like how there are medical conditions that affect your ability to think, etc. Just think what affect a stroke can have, for instance.
Our guys regularly talk about "controlling what they can control", but one example would be that Roo probably expected that he was in "control" of how much training etc, he did this year, but then ping goes his hammy and he's no longer able to do all that. If he was "in control" of how much he did, he'd have been able to continue as per normal, wouldn't he?

Well, I have to watch it now, don't I?!

I'll see if it's available at the local Blockbuster. *will download it as soon as he gets home*
