Want to figure out how much pride and willfulness is in your life? Ask yourself this:

How many times in the day do you get angry because of an inconvenience?

The ease and degree to which you get angry demonstrates the lack of peace in your heart. From slow line at post office/grocery store, bad driver, coworker that causes an issue, getting stuck at a train, etc. Each inconvinience demonstrates how attached we are to our own will, our own plans, and our own agendas.

Instead, use those moments to invite the King of Peace into your heart and mind. Every moment can be offered for some gain to yourself or the world.

This world is passing and fading but the relationship you form with God hour by hour lasts for eternity.
