Anger - What Is It Good For - Absolutely Nothing
Are you angry with what is going on in the Middle East? Are you angry with our political situation? Are you angry with the high cost of living? Are you angry with one or more Presidential Candidates? Are you just Angry?
Never in my life have I seen and heard so much anger. Never in my life have I read so much anger in newspapers and the internet. Never have I watched so many angry people in the movies, TV and streaming shows.
The fact is, Anger - What Is It Good For - Absolutely Nothing.
How is anger serving you? Does it make you happy - NO? Does it lead to a healthier life - NO? Does it get you closer to your friends and love ones - NO? Do other people like you more when your anger shows - NO? Is your conversation with others any better when both of you are angry - NO? Does anger solve your problems - NO?
Sooo, Anger - What Is It Good For - Absolutely Nothing
The example I give to the people I mentor is: Your car is waiting for a light to change, and someone smashes into your car's back bumper. What do you do? Well, you can get very angry and scream at the driver or you can take a deep breath and think maybe the driver is not well. The bottom line is, you have insurance and anger and screaming will not fix the car. All the anger will do is make you upset and unhappy.
We can't change what is going on in the Middle East (although protest is a reasonable response). We can change our political situation or the people running, but only by our vote, not by anger. We can be better shoppers to minimize the impact of high cost of living, not by anger. We can stop being angry because:
Anger - What Is It Good For - Absolutely Nothing
