The other day an acquaintance of mine told me he was angry. Out of blue?

We were sitting round table, engaging in small talk. I asked him what cause of his anger. He replied it was something related to his brother's behavior. His main concern though was how he could get rid of his anger.

The short conversation that ensued highlighted some interesting issues about ...

Briefly, this is how it went:

Me: "So, you have a problem with your brother's behavior?"

Him: "Yes, I do. And he makes me mad, very mad."

Me: "Does your brother make you mad? Or you choose to be mad because of your brother's behavior?"

You see, it all comes down to one word. That one word is 'choice'. What we choose, when something happens. You may be aware of it, but there are moments everyday when you have to make choices. Those moments are crucial because minute though they may be, choices that we make during them are life-changing.

An event happens. For some reasons your response is required. At that moment you make a choice about kind of response that you deem appropriate.

So, based on your interpretation of what has happened, you choose any one of your 'best behavior demanded by this situation'. And, if you were my acquaintance you would be angry. But why? Really, why?

The event, whatever it is, is just an event. What is important in whole equation is your choice. You might not have been responsible for event/situation, but for as long as you live, you are responsible for your response.

Sometimes event is an extremely bad one. The kind we call bad luck, very unfortunate! When this kind of situation occurs to you, you ask yourself: "Why me, why not my cat or neighbor?"

What secret dreams do you have for your life?

What if you could have anything you want simply by using your mind in a certain revolutionary way?
