Are you one?
Worse yet - have people told you you’re one?!?
Seems being a control freak is always looked at as a negative trait.
No one likes being around a control freak because they are just so intense.
When there is a situation that has a lot of moving parts - as a control freak - they will want to control everything so there will supposedly be a good outcome.
Some people call that planning … but when you take it to a certain level, it’s called being controlling.
Full disclosure here: I’m a control freak - or used to be one - so I understand.
Actually, I think there’s some untapped potential with a control freak.
My thoughts are … if you are a control freak, then be glad … because that means you have what it takes to control your mind!
You actually have the potential to use your extraordinarily intense mental powers for good!
No, really, stay with me here!
You see, everything we think and everything we do starts in the mind.
It’s the battlefield. So, controlling our minds is key.
If you are strong willed and like to be in control - rejoice - God made you especially wired to be able to do this!
Don’t let Satan take that good character trait and use it for evil!
Instead, allow God to reprogram your thought patterns to have control over how you think.
You can still be strong willed - but instead use it for good!!
In this case it’s okay to be extreme, you’re just being a control freak over your mind
instead of others.
You see, when you have control over how you think, you have control over how you act - and ultimately how you live.
In fact, we are told to take every thought captive - now if that isn’t controlling, I don’t know what is!!
So don’t let Satan have that power - it’s time to take back control of the control tower!
Be watchful, be strict, be . . . controlling.
Be the control freak that guards your own personal air space.
Because when used correctly, your mind can become the control tower that will protect and guide.
So sometimes it’s good to take control!
Just take control over things that matter, then the things that don’t matter won’t be controlling you!!
