We may want to think that we have control over our lives. However, the reality could be different. We are being controlled by:
- Our genes
- Wiring on our brain and decision-making
- Hormones
- Habits
- Conforming to social norms
- Human Psychology
- Our unique way of viewing and interpreting the world
- Our motivations, desires, fears, and numerous other triggers
- Our environment (Place, People, and culture around us)
- Our influencers, who conditioned our minds and hearts
- Constant fireworks of thoughts that we claim are ours
- Randomly choosing specific thoughts to action (e.g. I want to quit my job and set up my own business)
And many more…
So, thinking that ‘we have control’ is likely an illusion.
