A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself -
to laugh with me, but never at me;

and can never grow in a jealous heart.
- Leo F. Buscaglia

Always question WHY you are doing something.
Is it a free-will gift or an obligation?

on the part of the recipient.

the strongest of us struggle in vain.

The freedom we are looking for
is the freedom to be ourselves,

-Don Miguel Ruiz

During his training, a baseball player strives
to make each swing better than the last.
The repetition of a faulty swing would be worse than useless.
It would ingrain bad habits.
The same is true of emotional responses.
If we allow ourselves to continue to have the same angry responses,
we just entrench our anger habit.
But if we strive - through consciousness, visualization, and coaching -
to moderate our anger response,
over time, we can train ourselves to respond
to events as we choose - without anger.
You can't magically be free from anger tomorrow,
but you can put yourself on your own training program
that will reduce the frequency and intensity
of your anger response day by day, year by year.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
