Our ability to manage the flow of thought and emotion contributes to our happiness (Wright, 2017). We create paradise or hell in our own minds. “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,“ says Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
By habitually practicing a new attitude, we can foster a new feeling or overcome a pathological emotion (e.g., anger). So the absence of preconceptions (biases or points of view) moves us toward a truer view of the world (Wright, 2017). This cannot be accomplished simply by an act of will, by wanting them to go away.

In short, we can liberate ourselves from destructive emotions, such as anger and disappointment, by developing a capacity to choose how to interpret and evaluate the situation (when angry, take the other person’s perspective). By exerting free will, a person expands his or her options and freedom.
Anger controls you
Disappointment controls you
By exerting free will...we expand our options and freedom.
EXERT - key word
We can choose how we feel about it - but we must ACT to get results
We can choose our experiences through the action of changing our perspective.
When we change our perspective, we begin to expand our freedom.
Live free my friends.
There is no other life worth living.
