A helpful approach is to view the energy of anger positively and to use it to fire up our ambitions and our actions in a useful way

Instead, we can make a decision to use that energy in a constructive way in our own behalf. It can be the inspiration for us to create a project that, because of its excellence, proves our point. It might be the energy for us to move up and out of a situation that is unsatisfactory.

In personal relationships, the same opportunity exists. The anger can be utilized to inspire us to improve our communication skills, take a course on interpersonal relationships, or enroll in a self-improvement program.

One of the great secrets of relationship is acknowledgment

Resorting to the mechanism of wrongness is simply a denial of our own freedom to choose

The inner-actions between human beings are determined by the configurations of the vibrational energies that their emotions are radiating into space. The energy of the vibration, and the thought form with which it is associated, create a readable record

That which inflates the ego does not result in inner strength.

When we are in a state of pride, our energy is dissipated by the constant preoccupation with defending our lifestyle, vocation, neighborhood, clothes, year and make of car, ancestry, country, and political and religious belief systems

There is a tireless preoccupation with appearance and what other people will think, so there is a constant vulnerability to the opinions of others

When we let go of our need for validation or to prove ourselves right, then the challenges against us fall away
