Be the Water, Not the Flame

Real strength is apologizing to a door after you kick it. Little Ryan was

losing it one morning, slamming doors and throwing shoes just because he lost a toy.

Instead of scolding him, his grandpa calmly told him to go say sorry to the door

and his shoes. Ryan thought it was a joke, but his grandpa dropped the truth.

He said if you have enough energy to hate an object, you have enough power to show it

kindness. You don't put out a fire with more fire; you use water. Ryan realized that

anger breaks things, but love fixes the vibe. Next time you want to explode,

be the water, not the flame.
