If we are not in control of our lives we are living as an effect rather than being the cause. Just merely existing instead of creating. Never fully understanding about the things that happen in our lives, or even learning from them. We are then always the “victims”, and never the heroes.

But WHY do things happen as they do?

Every single situation in life is strategically placed in our lives at certain specific times in life. …

Notice how easy it is to blow up at someone for the most minuscule things? Without even really thinking about it, we just go off don’t we?

Our embarrassment turns into hurt, then hurt into anger, and then boom!

The best way to learn to control your anger is to always remind yourself, “I’m never angry.” That way, you can trick yourself into happiness!

Or, into at least a longer temper.
