We all have strengths. There are parts to us that control our lives. What is in charge of you? Maybe it is spirituality. Perhaps this is a challenging time for you and mental illness is in charge of you right now. Or something else? What controls your thoughts, your decisions, your life?

Speaking for myself, I don't feel that I am in charge of myself as a whole. Rather, the PTSD has a higher control at the moment, but I am regaining.

I suppose this isn't a great question or well-phrased for my intention, but it's something I have been pondering. We are each responsible for our own behaviors, but how we choose those behaviors depends on who--or what--is in charge.
