Progress Continues... One Stone At a Time

My grandfather once suggested, "Whenever you are angry at something, be patient, endure it, and put one stone. One day these stones will build up bit by bit, becomes so high. It will become a wall. Then you will not get affected by anything"

In the meditation exercises, it says the best way to deal with anger is ACTION, doing something, and transforming anger into something positive. If you repress it, it will eat you inside.

I decided to physically do what my grandfather told me. Everytime I endure a stressful event, everytime I conquer my anger, I will add one stone into a box and then I will stop thinking about it. This will be a way of transforming negatives into positives--> toward self-confidence.
