is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

If you truly have no anger, you are blessed and joyful.

pound pillows, scream, curse.
Then take a deep breath, and get over it.

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

expectations (demands) that we hold for the actions of others.

have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.
