Most of us would vouch for ourselves: “I am in control of myself”. “My behavior is controlled.” But you will be surprised to know that most often, we have very little control on what we do. We are driven to behave the way we do, and we are seldom in control.

Unbelievable, but I think it is true. When we think before we decide or act, we do so with our conscious mind. But life is full of actions at every step and every moment, not all of which are results of our conscious decisions. There are several actions which are controlled by the subconscious mind. We are not in control of the actions governed by our subconscious mind

..this is a quote and not my own words but I personally believe it to be true..I think we are 'programmed' by past memories and experiences which dictate our reactions and feelings to certain situations
