“Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.” ~Will Smith

This quote dials back into what you can control and what you cannot. You get to decide how you feel in ANY given situation. No one else has control over your feelings. This is a confusing concept because we tend to think that other people’s behavior “makes” us mad. But your feelings and others’ behavior are two distinct and separate things. You get to decide if you carry anger and resentment within you as a result of what other people say or do. It is a skill to learn the distinction and how to control your own emotions but it is something that we all can learn.
