There are three types of people that the Holy One, Blessed is He, loves.
One of them is a person who does not get angry.

How do you change a lifelong habit?
I just heard a story about R’ Moshe Feinstein who was known to be such a calm person. He was asked this question and he said that he actually had a natural tendency to get angry, but he struggled for years to overcome it and eventually did. It is very difficult to overcome a bad habit, but certainly could be done. I would suggest studying the topic and making it a focus. Start off by committing at least one time a day not to get angry or to at least push off the anger. Get Igeres HaRambam which discusses this topic and study it. Make small commitments and you will get there IYH. Hatzlocha.
