Coping with life frustrations

I’d like to think I’m a good person. I’ve tried to live my life in ways that reflect good morals and high integrity but often fall short. I get caught up with temptations, frustrations and situations that don’t reflect the character of a person I can truly be proud of, and, I often find myself getting irritable with things I have no control over. Life’s like this! You simply cannot control what others do. The only person I have control over is myself and the choices I make. Knowing that, why do I still persist in trying to control situations that drive me crazy. I suppose, if you’re like me, you have probably asked yourself the same question. There are a multitude of life situations that can consume our thoughts and behaviors, if we let them.
