Master The Response

Do not allow anger to control your actions.

Anger is not a virtue, though it often tries to disguise itself as one. It claims to be strength, justice, or conviction—but more often it is simply impulse wearing a mask.

You will never be completely without anger. It is human. But you can choose where it lives.

Keep it within the confines of your mind—where, with time and practice, it can be examined, reduced, and tamed.

Train yourself to regulate your responses.
Do not be ruled by basic passions or impulses.

Strength is not found in reaction.
It is found in restraint.

“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.” — Marcus Aurelius
