CHOICES: Choose positive direction

You can be efficient without being in a rush or a reckless hurry.

You can be assertive and confident in extending proper criticism in privacy extending discretion and respect with whomever the turmoil arises with.

You can be quiet and soft-spoken and still be the one everyone hears loud and clear.

It is easy to succumb to a momentary stress that overwhelms us and gratify it by letting loose on a profanity-laced tirade but how much stronger is the one who concentrates that stress and frustration into a productive entity that benefits them and inspires those around them?

It’s arduous at times but indeed is worth it.

Frustration and anger is like hot pressed steam. You can either blow the lid and severely burn someone with it or concentrate it and let it propel you forward to better and bigger things! The choice in the end in all things is yours!
