We are the change that we seek.

We are the change that we seek -Barack Obama

Many people join an anger management class with a secret hidden agenda. So secret they may not be aware of it themselves. They are looking for a formula, a potion, a spell that will change those people in their lives. What people you may ask? Those people they can not control, those people that just won’t comply no matter how loud we yell, no matter how hard we kick or how long we pout.

The fact of the matter is you are the change you seek. You can not control other people. You can not control them through intimidation, through coercion or through manipulation. If you are honest with yourself you know its hard enough contolling yourself.

When meeting with Kim Kardashian and Khole Kardashian on the Reality Television show Keeping up with the Kardashians I noticed Khole was stuck on changing her “brother in law” Scott Disick. Khloe finally got it when I explained to her she would never be able to controll Scott but she does have the power to control how she reacts to him. Guess what you have that same power. You do not have to respond to every uncomfortable stimuli brought on by you job, family or significant other. You are not a puppet. You have the power to change how you react to negative people and negative situations. You also have the power to avoid some people and some situations all together. You are the change you seek.
