I saw a short YouTube video where the famous musician, Quincy Jones, was sharing the best advice he ever heard. He quoted Mark Twain, “Anger is an acid that does more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to the vessel to which it is poured.” Holding on to anger is like holding on to a stick of dynamite with a burning fuse. When we turn our minds from anger, we create a space for constructive thoughts. There is an inverse proportion between our sense of peace and and our sense of anger. As one goes up, the other goes down. I know which one I want to choose, how about you?
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
