- I must solve every problem that comes my way.
- Only I can solve these problems.
- If I don't solve these problems, I will be seen by others as a failure or no good.
- I need to fix all of these things perfectly and as soon as possible.
- There is no one else available who is going to help me solve these problems.
- All those people need to do is to follow what I've told them to do.
- This place would be ideal if it would only do what I want it to do.
- These things wouldn't be so bad off if they had been left to me to take care of by myself.
- They don't know what to do and they need me to tell them.
- They can't do anything right without me. If they lose or fail, it will reflect badly on me.
- What would others think if things didn't work out the way they were supposed to?
- I've only known crisis, chaos, and panic in my life so why should I expect any peace, calmness, or serenity if I leave them to take care of themselves?
- I must make everything better around here or else I'll go crazy.
- If I let go too soon, things might change and I'd be sorry for releasing them too prematurely.
- If I let go of them, I might lose them.
- If I stop trying to fix and change them, they would no longer need me and leave me.
- There must be a way to turn them around and I can't give up yet.
- What if they blame me for not taking care of them if they fail or fall flat on their faces?
- I'd rather sacrifice myself than have them blame me later for not helping them.
- They are so irresponsible they would never do it on their own.

What is the irrational thinking which leads you not to let go of the uncontrollables and unchangeables in life?
