Wasting Energy

 

Wasting Energy

===============

It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won't go.

~Bertrand Russell~

 

Let Go of Your Anger


Make it a regular practice to imagine being calm and relaxed in situations that are likely to arouse your anger. As you increase your levels of patience and humility, you will increase your freedom from anger.

Today, be totally committed to let go of any anger that you begin to experience.
