“Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.” Prov.16
Some have said that control is an illusion. I suppose there are many instances where this may be true, but I believe there are times when the only illusion is that we have no say in the matter. One of these of course is the God given ability to adjust our attitude. It is wise to stop trying to change people or circumstances beyond our control and change ourselves instead. Once we learn to right our own attitudes, we may not be able to encourage them, if only by example to consider changing theirs. Of course we should give our expectations to God that they will do so.
