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

visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.

While it is natural to feel some degree of
need for the approval of others, be careful.

is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
