That seeming "control" is actually just my being cautious, so the challenge is to learn what to cautiously do when we do not know exactly what is actually right or best or whatever. Also, there is nothing wrong with being cautious today where yesterday I might not have had any need for that same caution. Overall, I have had to learn to distinguish cautions from warning signs and warning signs from stop signs:
Cautions typically mean to simply be careful while continuing on;
Warning signs add the element of avoiding specific dangers;
Stop signs simply give us a little time to look and listen before proceeding.

Learning to accept responsibility for our choices while also learning to be content (at least for the moment) even when some of our choices are not the greatest is part of learning to live life on life's terms without being frozen-in-place over every decision. Those of us with OCD tendencies can find that very difficult at times, but that does not mean we must give up on the idea of trying a few more chairs while searching for the one that seems perfect.
