A Yid who had gone through all the nightmares of the churban Europe once came to the Slonime Rebbi.
He thought that after he came out of that hell the least he expected was that he wouldn't have a yetzar hora- a desire for anything bad- ever again. He asked the Rebbi how is it that he still is plagued by it? The Rebbi answered that there is no outside force in the world that can affect who you are and what you do, the only thing that can and does change a person is the person himself. Hashem sends us many messages throughout our days it is up to us to hear them and internalize them.
