Whatever is Begun in Anger Ends in Shame

Whatever is Begun in Anger Ends in Shame

Sue Leppan Transformation Facilitator & Life Coach

"Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame" – Benjamin Franklin

Anger is a powerful force—one that often feels justified in the moment but leaves us with regret in its aftermath. When we act out of anger, we lose sight of reason, compassion, and the bigger picture.

It starts with a spark, fueled by fear, rejection, or pain, but if left unchecked, it burns bridges and leaves behind the heavy burden of shame.

The truth is, anger isn’t the real enemy; it’s a signal, pointing to deeper wounds that need healing:

- Fear of loss

- Rejection or judgment

A sense of powerlessness

Instead of letting anger lead to destruction, pause, reflect, and choose a response rooted in understanding and strength. When you master your emotions, you reclaim your power and find peace.

Take charge of your life—don’t let anger write your story.
