More From James Patterson

Your anger is like a flower. in the beginning you may not understand the nature of your anger, or why it has come up. but if you know how to embrace it with the energy of mindfulness, it will begin to open. you may be sitting, following your breathing, or you may be practicing walking meditation to generate the energy of mindfulness and embrace your anger. after ten or twenty minutes your anger will have to open herself to you, and suddenly, you will see the true nature of your anger. it may have arisen just because of a wrong perception or the lack of skillfulness.
Flower Anger Walking Meditation
Anger cannot be overcome by anger. if someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. on the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
Compassion Hands Opposites
It's been the greatest gift that i've been given. because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until i had a kid. and then all of sudden i was like, "oh. i have to be more patient." they were all like, "yeah! we've been telling you that for twenty years!" and i find it to be a gift. every day i'm more patient.

Beware of anyone who calls you bad names merely for asking honest questions. beware of anyone who insists on reframing your sincere curiosity as a character defect. beware of anyone who questions your motives while ignoring your facts. when someone calls you bad names merely for asking questions, it suggests they know the answer but are terrified to admit it.
Character Asking Questions Names
People are often very frightened of their anger. they feel it will cause them to do something harmful. if you have this fear, create a safe situation where you can express your anger, alone or with a trusted therapist or friend. allow yourself to talk angrily, shout, hit pillows, whatever you feel like. once you've done this in a safe environment, you will have released some of the charge, and you can look underneath the anger to find what you need to do to take better care of yourself. like any emotion, anger is a valuable tool, teaching us who we are and how we feel.
Anger Teaching Safe Environment
It is best if we do not listen to or look at the person whom we consider to be the cause of our anger. like a fireman, we have to pour water on the blaze first and not waste time looking for the one who set the house on fire. "breathing in, i know that i am angry. breathing out, i know that i must put all my energy into caring for my anger." so we avoid thinking about the other person, and we refrain from doing or saying anything as long as our anger persists. if we put all our mind into observing our anger, we will avoid doing any damage that we may regret later.

Regret is an appalling waste of time.
Regret Waste Wasting Time
It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and i don't regret it. my regrets are for the people i couldn't save: marines, soldiers, buddies. i'm not naive, and i don't romanticize war. the worst moments of my life have come as a seal. but i can stand before god with a clear conscience about doing my job.
Jobs Regret War
Man is a transitory being, and his designs must partake of the imperfections of their author. to confer duration is not always in our power. we must snatch the present moment, and employ it well, without too much solicitude for the future, and content ourselves with reflecting that our part is performed. he that waits for an opportunity to do much at once, may breathe out his life in idle wishes, and regret, in the last hour, his useless intentions and barren zeal.
Regret Opportunity Men
I never regret anything i do. it's part of who i am now, and i like who i am now.
