You defeat yourself when you try to control things outside of your direct influence.
Life is a balance between intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Quite often, you can control the former not the latter. An early-in-life understanding of this limits your frustration in life. Although your external environment keeps changing, although people around you keep changing, although events around you keep changing, you should always strive to maintain your internal milieu at a relatively steady state. Chaos sets in once control of "self" is lost. Most important, you should always have at the back of your mind that, the person who has the most to do with you is you, not some person(s), not some external forces, not your environment but you and the choices you make. Try as much to be rationale when you make your choices…..because your life is controlled by your choices.
