I have very little control over much of the situation I face, but I am responsible for my life anyway. And what I do have control over is how I choose to act after events. I can't change my feelings as they happen, nor the spontaneous voice, but the actions after are mine and what I do is going to influence the next series of situations, that will evoke the resulting feelings and words spoken by that voice.

We have to accept that we are responsible for the situation in our lives. Whenever something happens, it is a matter of how we behave or react in that situation and whether we are able to control ourselves in that situation. Here we have to control ourselves, although very few of us can control ourselves.
