Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Brenda F. Dixon, the owner of Life Help Now in Nashville, Tennessee and we're here today with Expert Village. This anger, once you gain control of it, oh my, your whole life is transformed. I would just say that each person to you, that are watching this, I would just say to you, be strong, be courages, don't be afraid. When you're in the marketplace, when you're in the workplace, there's no place for frailty, pity that desire down inside of you of poor me. There's no place for that. So once you begin to realize that your thought is what got you into that anger, or got you intimidated by someone that is coming across with an angry approach to you, once you realize that you can be strong just say it, I'm going to be strong. Just say it, and it actually begins to take on a life of its own. It's the same thing when say oh poor me, or oh my, the people that I work with are so troubling and when you say that, you take that on. So if you can take that on, take on what you want to be. You want to be the best that you can be. You don't have to be manipulated by anger, you don't have to at all. And this is anger that other people have or your own anger that starts to bubble up inside of you. So you can choose, this is your choice. The next time that we're together we're going to talk a little bit about how to be aggressive, what aggressive looks like and what assertive looks like in anger. "
