About This Quote

When you are angry—stop, breath, relax, step back, think, and forgive before you react. Whenever we get angry at people or things that go wrong in our lives, we need to stop and take note of the situation. We need to breathe deeply and try to calm down. We need to step back and give ourselves time to cool off before we react. At the same time, we also need to think about what happened or what could have happened differently so that we can learn from the experience.

After having time to reflect on whatever it is that made us so angry in the first place, we can then let go of our anger and forgive the other person or thing involved. By taking these steps at the right time, we can realize how many times a problem really does come around again and again in life whether it be a bad job performance, a late friend who can’t make it on time, or a rude person who cuts us off in traffic.
