00:00Someone comes and says something unpleasant to you.

00:03Do you need to just immediately, unthinkingly explode, as most of us do?

00:10Or can you tell yourself, I am not an animal.

00:13I can wait, I can be patient.

00:15Let me at least think over it.

00:17Animals are supposed to react.

00:19Human beings are supposed to understand and then respond.

00:22That's the difference between reaction and response.

00:25Response involves understanding.

00:28Reaction is just chemical.

00:31Whenever you find emotions taking control of yourself, resist, fight.

00:36That's the one battle worthy to be fought.

00:45you will find the external battles are far easier to win.

00:48Be a master of your own mind.
