We all have a natural impulse to try to control the details of our immediate environment. While this may come from a basic survival instinct, the impulse often extends beyond things that could be classified as our business. This is where we run into problems with others. Trying to control affairs that are not our concern not only results in frustration, it increases the likelihood that we’ll step on others’ toes in the process. A far better approach is to decide what we want, try our best to achieve it and let others live…

As they wish.
