It feels easier to make everything someone else’s fault, but what can you do? Well, self-control and personal responsibility are a good place to start. We need to manage our reactions and emotions, even in challenging situations. Daniel from the Old Testament illustrates how respectful and controlled responses can positively impact circumstances.
