Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll
ever regret.
Laurence J. Peter

Leaders don't get angry
They channel their emotions into something positive
Leaders keep their cool
They understand the cost of anger

10 SECOND REALITY CHECK
Do you get angry?  When?
Does anger enable or disable you from thinking clearly?
What real benefits have come from being angry? Honestly?

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you
 to grow beyond what you were.
--Cherie Carter-Scott

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Nothing positive comes from anger
Anger takes alot of your energy
Things done in anger are very hard to retract
That's why anger is a useless emotion

Never get angry. Never make a threat. Reason with people.
--Mario Puzo (1920 - 1999), 'The Godfather'

SO, WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Recognize your own anger
Make a choice to not be angry
Channel your "anger-energy" into forgiveness and more
Remember, you are in charge of your emotions

If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit; give
it nothing which may tend to its increase.
--Epictetus

PARTING THOUGHTS FROM ELEANOR AND DALE...

Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be
 criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you
don't.
--Eleanor Roosevelt

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do.
--Dale Carnegie

Have an anger free week, oops, I mean life!
Marsha
