Risko, Meet Your New Zen...

I used to fly off the handle almost instantaneously when I got mad. Yelling screaming, hitting things (never people, just hard things) even sometimes crying was my way. I guess I just have a short fused temper that becomes ignited very easily. I wasted so much energy on raging against things that were, many times, insignificant. A quote that I remembered recently that really helped me to put things into perspective, "He or she that controls you anger, controls you." How true that is. And if that fails there is always the old standby of - "Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves." Yet another solid piece of advice. Both of these quotes preach a lesson of sitting back and keeping a peaceful/easy feeling.
