Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
