Things over which I

will not surrender control

1 The clothes I choose to wear

2 The food I choose to eat

3. The beverages I choose to drink

4. What I choose to read

5. What I choose to watch

6. To what I choose to listen

7. With whom I choose to associate

Congratulations. Well done!

You're not giving away your choices or your life.

Doesn't sound like you'd make a very good Mormon ;-) (n/t)

Re: Things over which I

That describes me pretty well...and I sucked at being a Mormon or anything else that requires obeying.

Re: Great list, desertrat. Here's one more

Exactly.

My thoughts.
My studies.
My views and purpose.

They are mine and not to be decided by someone else.

Nice thread.

Re: Things over which I

I heartily agree with your list, but also wanted to add a few things on the list for which one has no control:

one's skin color, ancestry, or sexual orientation.


No church or person ever gets to decide whether I am cursed or "less than" because of how my genes have been put together!
