Things I need to keep in Mind.

The Bottom Line

While you're busy fighting for more control, you're losing focus on what matters.

In Detail

The biggest problem with power struggles isn't that you might lose your grip -- the biggest problem is that while you're busy fighting for all the control you want, you are losing focus on the most important things around you. Personal relationships should be your top priority, and that may mean forgoing the big ego battles in order to ensure harmony and security. There's no point in being in control of everything when there's no one else there.
