Don’t Be a Control Freak
Be a leader, if that is what your character and personality dictate to you. There is always someone who is willing to follow. It is OK to lead, to be in control in this manner; however, it is never a good thing to dominate someone else so completely that they lose their own individuality. Total control and domination will inevitably lead to their dissatisfaction, resentment, and eventually to rebellion. If you have a tendency to be controlling you should choose your battles carefully. Take control in areas of priority and compromise on lesser issues. Remember a good relationship is based on the 50/50 principle. If you are the dominate personality in a relationship then you may be able to control 55/45 or 60/40 of life’s situations without destroying your relationship, but you must never forget that total domination and control is not an viable option. Control freaks tend to always want to increase their level of control inch by inch, ultimately destroying all of their relationships; so let the reader beware.
