Stop long enough

Remember the old saying " you get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar" when you are facing a situation that makes you angry. Take a step back and give yourself time to think about it. Once you have had a moment or two you can see that if you would have reacted quickly with your first reaction the situation would be worse. Those few moments make a positive difference in the outcome that you will live with for a Lifetime. Before you react STOP and figure out what reaction will bring you the best outcome considering the situation.
