Aristotle spoke of victory over self as being one of the hardest victories there is. You fight a daily battle, whether its anger, lusts etc, whatever your “enemy” is be conscious of it. Control your emotions and thoughts. The examples of men brought down because they lacked this at a point in their life are many. Gen. Petraeus is a recent example, and one I will expound up later, but there are tons in everyday life. People shooting at each other because of their driving, fights over perceived slights, even anger online over something written (look at the comments people write). We can not control what happens around us, we can control our reaction to what happens. Be above the masses, Be a Leader and remember to call in the Heavy Artillery (prayer) when you feel like your breaking down. We have a direct line to the Creator of everything, use it!
