The major way of doing anything with one's self is to own one's self. This means to take full responsibility and accountability for whatever I am doing at any moment, with anybody.

It is 'I made me mad.' When I permit myself the luxury of taking that full responsibility, then I'm on first base, at least, because then I can do something about it.
