Meditations on God

When your decisions are rooted in anger, you have already made a mistake.

Anger muddies the waters.

It blinds you from seeing things clearly.

It skews your decisions in a direction that may not be in your best interest, and they certainly are not in anyone else’s best interest.

When you are angry, pause before you speak or act.

Take a moment to breathe and to think things through.

Ask yourself who you want to be.

Ask yourself if what you are about to say or do will move you toward or away from that person.

Consult with a level-headed friend or loved one if necessary.

Confide in someone you trust to tell you the truth.

People who antagonize you when you are angry are not looking out for you.

They are not going to have your back when you fail.

Patience is your friend, prudence is your ally, and compassion is your compass.

Let love, not anger, guide you.
