Control may take the form, for example, of an idea, a relationship, or a physical object. Acts of control change the world and create the need for re-appreciation.

THE NATURE OFCONTROL GOALS How to Control: Accept your constraints of appreciation, your options for influence and choose the best course of action for yourself, others and the whole List the activities you must control, influence and appreciate Reflect on how well they will achieve the purpose Act! – Control what you can, influence what you cannot and appreciate the rest!
