To reduce destructive emotions we need to strengthen constructive emotions. For example, to counter anger we cultivate love and compassion.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

There needs to be understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem. It destroys our peace of mind and blinds our ability to think clearly. Anger and attachment are emotions that distort our view of reality.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

Nothing is permanent.

One can be deceived by three types of laziness: of indolence, which is the wish to procrastinate; the laziness of inferiority, which is doubting your capabilities; and the laziness that is attachment to negative actions, or putting great effort into non-virtue.

The cultivation of compassion is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, if our species is to survive.
