Anger is one of the most often misunderstood, yet significant concepts in life. Best understood as a response providing energy to protect; to respond to a real or perceived wrong doing or injustice in life, anger motivates a person to action.
- Self-awareness— Identifying the causes of anger in your life
- Compose yourself — Learn the value of “calming” to allow the anger to subside. “Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” (Proverbs 14:29)
- Control it — Control your response rather than reacting emotionally. This is the key.
- Settle it — Commit to not only “doing” the right things, but also “being” the right person. Take responsibility for your anger by taking action with composure.
