1. “For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.” –  Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Why do you feel angry?

You expect everything to happen according to your wish. When that does not happen, you feel frustrated. You vent your frustration by bursting forth in vicious anger.

3. “It is wise to direct your anger towards problems — not people; to focus your energies on answers — not excuses.”– William Arthur ward

People do not make you angry. It is your problems which makes you lose your temper. 

But you often direct your anger against people because they become easy target. Feeling angry at people is unnecessary and unneeded. You gain nothing from it except enemies.

Think why certain problems are making you angry. Find solutions for it. Life will be much easier for you to live.

4. “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”– Gautama Buddha

Anger is indeed like poison. A slow poison at that. It slowly kills your mental peace and happiness. It wins you many enemies.

6. “Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.” Baltasar Gracian

It often isn’t.

Actually, your anger is a victory to the person against whom your wrath is directed. That person has achieved his target. He wanted you to make you angry and unhappy. He loses nothing, but you lose your mental peace.

The way you react angrily makes the intention of the person come true – that is to make you stressed and tensed..

9. “The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.” Barbara de Angelis

A question most of us ask.

In the process you forget that along with your past the people who hurt you has also disappeared into the past tense.

Live for the present. It has beautiful moments. Enjoy it.

10. If you kick a stone in anger you will hurt your foot – Korean

Your anger hurts no one except yourself. You have many more useful work to do than to spit forth your anger. Leave your anger behind you. It is not worth it.

Anger is a beautiful emotion only if it is within its limits. But most of you never know the trick to control your temper. When you cannot control your anger, it becomes a boomerang to finally attack you.
