Anger Quote by Amelia C. Adams
““That was to find the joy in everything. If I had to deal with a cranky customer, find the good in them. If I got a flat tire, look for the possible blessing in it.” “That kind of sounds like Pollyanna,” Abby said. She’d never really cared for that movie. It was a little too . . . glad. “It does in a way, but it goes deeper than that,” Reggie replied. “It has to do with looking for purpose and understanding that our lives intersect with other people’s lives in a way that’s very real. If I’m angry, and I take it out on someone who might not even know what I’m angry about, I’m allowing the ripple of my anger to go outward and hurt other people. But if I can take it and deal with it and stop it before it travels outward, I’ve helped pull a little bit of the negative out of this world.” He””
