The anger quote that always makes me laugh

This quote makes me laugh every time, because it captures exactly what I do.

I charge into a situation I’m angry about… and significantly decrease my chances of resolving it.

1️⃣ I’m not getting something I want.

2️⃣ I’m blaming someone else.

3️⃣ I’m about to say or do something that will guarantee I still won’t get it – or that I’ll regret later.

💥 Ouch. Does this strike a chord for you too?

People sometimes think Needs Understanding is about being nice and burying anger.

to signal that something is wrong,

to call for change.

And then?

🌱 It offers ways of expressing anger that are far more likely to get us what we want: understanding, connection, impact, transformation.
