You may be feeling some POWER. You may have the GALL. You may even have the AUDACITY of hope and change. So much so that you want to “show them” how you feel by becoming violent or destructive. You may want to “tell them” by telling them off. May I offer you something that may save you from burning bridges and later feeling the sting of regret and embarrassment. You may feel instant regret. Especially, if you think the person or entity is going to sit back and let you do what you are thinking about doing.

Let me offer you the opportunity to practice SELF CONTROL. Perhaps, STOP. BE QUIET. THINK. Think. Is there a better, more productive, more constructive way to channel my energy? Maybe I can think about what I want to say and how I want to say it and the time to say it. Maybe, I can channel my energy into actually being pro-active for change. Maybe I can channel my energy into my freedom, hopes, and dreams.

Don’t let your passion for change and a new life veer off into destructive anger. The clean-up is hell.
