Today’s quotes stem from yesterday’s article about an individual who lashed out at me and unleashed their anger during one of my 12 Step leads. The following quotes really helped me to work through that situation a lot.
“When others lash out at you in anger with words or actions, their battle is not with you but themselves.” (Abraham Hicks)
“You never know when someone is in crises. If someone ever lashes out at you in anger, consider where their angers comes from before responding. Often anger is a cover for fear or desperation.” (Dr. Linnaya Graf)
“If you carry around a lot of suppressed or repressed anger, you may lash out at people, blaming or punishing them for something someone else did a long time ago. Because you were unwilling or unable to express how you felt in the past, you may overreact in the present…” (Beverly Engel)
“The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back.” (Unknown)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
