You know, I've seen that quote by Coach and much as it has some good and valid points, I do have a different viewpoint on some of its messaging.
You simply stop hoping, expecting, or needing the elephant to move. You drop the rope AND don't even think of whispering. It'll be really cool if you had an elephant walking beside you in the grass sometime (especially if there are lions around), but if it doesn't happen, it's ok. You'll be fine and can enjoy what is around you all the same. (except if there ARE lions :))
Or maybe I'm being too negative?
Also, I think SOME anger, besides being only too human, is also not always bad. It plays its part in helping the LBS wake up to reality too, much as the WAS needs other things to have a chance of waking up. If LBS have no reaction at all to being trampled upon, he / she might as well open a bakery for the WAS.
