Control and happiness

I'm noticing how much my mind believes that if others do what I want them to do, I will be happy, so I wanted to point the flashlight on that idea in this weeks quote. Folly indeed. Yet, it is habitual and human. It comes up most often with my husband and child.

What does your mind tell you you need to control the most?

Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile. -Stephen R. Covey
