Anger's Gift

Anger is nothing to be feared. It is natural to feel angry when another person tries to overstep your personal boundaries, when they attempt to squash your dreams, or interfere with your plans. Anger is a natural way to get the energy that you need to regain control of your personal situation and let the other party know to respect you or to leave you alone.

The trick is to do this before you become enraged. Anger is a gift. It alerts you to the fact that something is wrong. Listen to it so that you can understand why you feel it. Then try to set the situation straight. Anger is your friend: anyone who insists on violating your personal space is not.
