P. 21
Learning how to not allow your Stinky Thinking to make you angry is very difficult. One reason is that it just comes very naturally. Something happens and because you tell yourself a “Should Belief,” you get angry.
The second reason it is difficult to change your anger generating thinking is that sometimes it gets you what you want. That is what happened to the little Prince, but in the end, his thinking causes everyone a lot of problems.
The third reason it is so difficult to get rid of your anger producing Stinky Thinking is that almost everyone else has the same type of Stinky Thinking. That does not make it right and it does cause them a lot of problems. But they don't see it as bad and they don't encourage you to change.
1. When the Prince shot poorly, what Good Thinking could he have told himself?
2. What would have been his emotions?
3. What would he have done because of this thinking?
4. When you make demands of others, like the Prince did, how does that make them feel?
5. If you act like the Prince, will others want to be around you?
