A Recent Tweet on Anger
I have been thinking a lot about anger lately and recently tweeted on anger:
Indignation is a just emotion when followed by mature action.
Anger itself is not bad...it is how you respond and use that anger. Notice the key words – indignation, just and mature.
Use your anger as a gift, not as a curse. Then you will control it, instead of it controlling you.

- Indignation - Is the source of your anger indignation or simply a perceived hurt, disappointment or low self-esteem? In other words, is it outwardly focused or inwardly focused?
- Just - Is your anger focused on a just cause like reversing a wrong?
- Mature - Does your response to anger cause you to rant and rave like a maniac or do you use it as fuel to take a mature responsible action?
Use your anger as a gift, not as a curse. Then you will control it, instead of it controlling you.
