triggers an amazing cycle of transformation

is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
to flow in my direction.

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.

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.

Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
