Freedom from anger

Acknowledge your anger, feel it fully, allow it to be, and then quickly move beyond it. Instead of fighting against your anger or letting it control you, choose to experience it and then let it go.

When you hold on to anger, it drags you down. By allowing and then quickly dropping the anger, you put yourself in a powerful position to deal with whatever brought about that anger.

Anger can get your attention and get you going. Yet if you hold it for long it will surely hold you back.

Sometimes your anger may be valid and other times it may not. Whether it is valid or not, anger almost always makes you much less effective and hinders your ability to move forward.

Anger often perpetuates and strengthens those very things at which it is directed. So the best strategy is to first let it be and then let it go.

Decide to be strong and effective, to put your energy into moving forward. Drop the anger and raise yourself to a higher level of positive control and effectiveness.

The World is Round

Amazing IRAN

Thank you and goodbye!
Unfortunately WORLD IS ROUND is shutting down.
Unless the owner of WIR can find someone who is willing and capable of taking over the website. I have been planning to start my own website which would include similar photo albums on Iran. However, due to health reasons (Diabetes complications) I'm not able to foresee any such website any time soon. My intention with these albums was to make available to the world the good side of Iran through images and to try to make people from all around the world understand that Iran absolutely does not deserve to be considered a member of some "axis of evil". I also wanted to instill hope and inspiration for a brighter future for the young generations of Iranians. And images can do that! They can create a vision in the minds of people.

Anyway, I thank you all for your comments and support.
Keep the Iranian flame burning!
Iran Hargez Nakhaahad Mord!
Paayandeh baad Iran!
