ScottWesterman @scottwesterman.com · 21/09/2025When someone tries to hand you their anger, don’t take the gift. As the Buddha told a heckler: if a gift isn’t accepted, it still belongs to the giver. Same with rage and drama. Don’t accept it. It stays with the giver. Choose peace. #Mindfulness #Boundaries #EmotionalIntelligence 1277
