Einstein once said, "Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools". We live in difficult times. Times that can make us very angry. Yet every minute spent in anger is a minute lost. A minute we could have been doing good. Anger distracts us from our mission. Anger blinds us to the possibilities of doing good and stunts our growth as human beings. It diverts our attention from what is important in the long term to what is expedient in the short term.
To be productive human beings we need to be in control of our attitudes, our efforts, our lives. We need to focus on the job at hand and not allow the things around us to distract from what we know we must do. Anger is not your friend, its your enemy. Work to control your thoughts, your responses to the stimulus around you and respond in an effective, not an emotional way.
The one thing that separates man from animal is the power of choice. Choose not to be an angry person, but an effective person. Yours for a better tomorrow ...
Together we can share, learn and become better people as we prepare to live in an America we never imagined.
