Here is a Life Skills Class I teach at the Restitution Center in Union Gap on Anger Management that is of great interest and needs to be understood by all. Only the Lord can give us the ability to be in control of our anger as we cry out for help, and do not give way to the devil, but trust the Lord.

Anger Management

Accept that most things in the world are out of your control.

Accept that it is your choice to get angry about those things.
No one makes you angry.
Life is unfair. Waste no energy lamenting or trying to change that fact.
No one likes to be around an angry person. No one feels like helping an
angry person.
So why be angry? Maybe you really don't want your problems solved. Maybe you just want to complain and wail and gnash your teeth.

Take stock of yourself. What do you want?
You should smile more. Your face won't break.
Anger is a weed; hate is the tree. -St. Augustine
Anger makes a rich man hated and a poor man scorned. -Thomas Fuller
"In the depth of winter I finally learned that within me there lay an
invincible summer."-Albert Camus
