Mon: Made Me Mad

Pres Thomas S. Monson said in Oct General Conference: "Anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.

Anger happens when we 'have to wait', 'react to something said', 'when people don't behave or see things from our perspective'. There are countless reasons for anger.

To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It's our choice. May we make a conscious decision, when it must be made, to refrain from anger and to leave unsaid the harsh & hurtful things we may be tempted to say."

Oh that we could muster up the energy to do the things that anger drives us to do. So with it, much was removed to open the way for progress.

May this be a lesson to heed the Prophet's advice. Enough said.
