For example, a 'producer' (i.e. somebody who produces more value than they consume) tends to value control over what most of us think we want, which is 'ownership.' I guess ownership is the ultimate perception of controlling something. The Principle is Stewardship. We control our own decisions/actions; outside of that any influence we have, from a perspective of progression and prosperity, is an influence brought about by Stewardship. What can we do with a situation, product, relationship, etc. to create more value than there was before our influence is a factor. As far as control goes, one of the most powerful things I've learned is to not allow myself to take offense at something or someone. I forget all the time; but the ill feelings that come with offense reminds me and sooner or later I remember. Then it's like, Aagghhhh. Peace and relaxation are back again. Thanks, Matthew, for the blog. I've got it stumbled, delicious'd and dugg from my reader, as there's no options to do that from your blog. I look forward to reading more. --Dave Charbonneau, C.E.R.

Sometimes taking a chance makes a big difference. Joe I agree we can’t be complacent our whole life. Sometimes taking a chance makes a big difference.
