How much of your life do you feel, you have control of?

[Msputiton]

[daejahdabree]

About 65% of my life. The government took away freedoms lately, but I still find I way to live free. I have the freedom and choice to do what I want but of course there moral constraints. I am in a relatioship and have to respect my partner, but that is not a detriment to my freedom. I am a humble woman who is thankful for what i have.

[humanearth]

None, the government owns me. I am government cattle, also know as Cash Cow

I pay taxes on my income

I pay taxes on stuff I pay

I pay taxes on money I save that I already paid taxes on

I pay taxes on my property

I have to pay taxes when I die

I have to pay taxes just to wipe my ass

I am not free, if I don't pay taxes, I get locked up

That don't sound like a free county to me

[SnowedIn]

Very, very, very, very little. I'm pretty close to saying nothing but like all things in life, there are exceptions.

[Msputiton]

Agree

[weysally]

being married it becomes a shared life, but I can do what I want with discussions with y husband

[Msputiton]

Very true

[weysally]

I have more freedom than some girls whether they are just dating someone, or not

[Sixgunsound]

I have control over my reaction and feelings about anything I don't control the reality of. In that way I am the most powerful person I know.

Book recommedations: meditations of Marcus Aurelius and the Discourses of Epictetus.

[Msputiton]

Exactly

[xJeremyx]

A lot. I can control how much effort I put into things. I make thousands of choices daily. I can choose what I want to do, who I want to associate with (good company is very important), where I want to go.

I can and will be in charge of my own self. I refuse to blame external forces or events when I have the ability to control my actions, my thoughts and my emotions.

[mstbooblover]

Are you sure we really have control of anything in our life? We can make choices, but do we control the results? To be honest I stopped bothering decades ago because it wouldn't help anyway.

[Msputiton]

You are correct.

[TheSpaceGnome]

That depends on your perspective.

You could make the argument that I have control over most of it, since I live a relatively free and peaceful lifestyle, and for the most part, I can do what I want, when I want.

You could also argue that because life is chaotic, dangerous, and unpredictable. that I have control over very little.

I personally have the former perspective.

[Jaximus-Lion]

70%. I had to talk to the wife about it 😁. I do not let a family member to control my life, the last 15 years i have doing the things i want to dom, faild in some, succeeded in some. So i control my life, mostly

[PBandJ_Nerd]

As much control as I can have over it. Being neurodiverse has its limits, but some of those things are out of my control so I won't blame myself.

[Sparkie460]

Sometimes I have total control. Other times I plan and it becomes a shit show that I have to figure out a new plan

[Msputiton]

Lmao true

[Sparkie460]

I wish life came with an instruction manual. It would be so much easier

[Msputiton]

So true😭

[dustybiker]

Control is an illusion.

[SnowedIn]

Preach it Dusty.

[dustybiker]

@snowedin 😎 Can exhaust yourself trying to prove otherwise.

[SnowedIn]

@dustybiker... precisely. Doesn't mean don't work hard or not try but, as a very wise woman just said, control is an illusion.

[dustybiker]

@SnowedIn Yes. There is luck and chance to factor in as well. .

[dustybiker]

And thank you

[Msputiton]

I agree wit all this.
That's why i worded the question like i did

[dustybiker]

@msputiton It’s a good question. 👍🏻

[SnowedIn]

+1 to what the dusty biker says. Smart lady. All evidence to the contrary, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and nod my head.

[dustybiker]

@SnowedIn ☺️

[sirderpsalot123]

Very little and a lot... I can at least control how I react to things that are out of my control.

[sirderpsalot123]

That helps prevent future problems.

[Msputiton]

Exactly

[Fuentes]

All of it and If i don't I'm turning to the yellow tape, to take it back

[Msputiton]

Get at it.

[lalaloveee]

I've stopped controling years ago, my life is on freestyle mode

[CuriousMufuxka]

Let's see here.. Deduct work 10 hours. And that's about it! 14 hours of fuckin around maybe 5 that I actually have control of.

[Anonymous]

Little that’s because I’m not financially good yet still

[collie22]

What time I wake up 😊 before any body else dose

[DesiUwU]

like, 10% of my life

[Msputiton]

That is pretty how much any of us actually can control tbh

[exitseven]

Man plans and God laughs.

[Msputiton]

Yes. This is so true🤣

[Jennz6]

I really don’t have control of my life.

[Msputiton]

Nobody does

[Jennz6]

So I’m not alone

[Msputiton]

Nope

[EmbraceThePain]

A good portion of it.

[Flower7]

About 10% of it.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Like 5 percent of it.😂😂😂

[JosyJosy]

In everything I choose to do.

[DJB72]

Control is an illusion generally

[LavLavLuv]

Close to zero🧘‍♀️

[TrillXHippy]

99% of my life

[Nominal]

100percents. Always.

[eagle1951]

everything, and the rest God has

[Gilgalad]

I'm just worried I'll lose control of it.

[Dav1dTh0ma389]

Not a lot

[TallAnon]

Like 99%

[jimmy2]

25% or less
