How to Handle Life with Confidence and Grace

Sometimes in life we lose our composure and react rather impulsively. It's as if our default survival mode kicks in and we instinctively brace for something that's going to knock us off our feet.

Once upon a time these mechanisms related to our innate stress response served an important purpose. We defended ourselves and persisted to carry on our fittest genes and traits.

But the consciousness of humanity has evolved now and we've realized our capacity to decide how we want to respond to situations and events.

Is it still prudent to freak out, flip off, and curse at the world or people who coexist with you?
