“To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

― Shannon L. Alder

“The truth is this: People that give you focus, energy and anger do care. If you were nothing then you wouldn't be able to affect them. Behind every over reaction was first the thought that your opinion mattered and your respect was once of value or you wouldn't get the response you got.”
― Shannon L. Alder

― Shannon L. Alder

“When the lights go off in a movie theatre, everyone becomes this one entity: the audience watching the film. And most films aim to get the same emotions out of people. The same reactions. To laugh or be scared or cry or be inspired. The audience goes in as individuals and comes out as people who’ve all experienced the same thing, are all feeling the same way.”

“Road Rage is how a person reacts when they are unhappy within themselves. They look for suitable victims so that they can justify letting out their rage, and vent their frustrations.
It is never justified, and never should be.
Frustrations don't have a place on the motorway or on the street.
It's simple.
If you're angry....don't drive.
If you're frustrated with life....don't drive.
If you drive, chances are that you could hurt or kill other people, yourself or more importantly...those that you love.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“Remember, how people act and react has more to do with them, than with you. Sometimes, we may be shocked by how people act, or react. We might be put off or even offended. We have to remember we don't know what is in the minds and hearts of others. We don't know what trials they are facing. How they act or react may have absolutely nothing at all to do with us. We can't assume to take everything personally. Moreover, if we find ourselves reacting with volatile emotions, we may need to ask ourselves why we are being triggered. Just as it can happen with others, we also can fall victim to this. We may have a stronger than anticipated reaction to something because we have some unresolved conflict or pain that has been triggered. As we recognize what is within us, it becomes easier to recognize the same or similar within others. This in turn develops, understanding, compassion, kindness, forgiveness and a loving presence. Take a moment, a breath before you throw your emotions into something someone does or says. Take a moment, a breath before reacting or acting yourself. This can be the saving grace in your relationships with others.”
― Akiroq Brost

“When we react negatively to others we are really speaking to an unresolved pain within ourselves.”

“Are you going to anchor yourself to fear or love? Are you going to focus on what you can, or can't do? Where will you invest your time, attention, and energy? Even if we have circumstances in our lives which are trying and difficult, we still have a choice as to what we emotionally engage with. We must monitor what we allow into our lives. Does it serve us or harm us? Are we acting in our own best interest?”
― Akiroq Brost
