How much wasted time is spent in anger? If time is money, think about cost of
this (physically, mentally and emotionally). Every moment we hold resentment, and
anger in our heart it depletes our savings and it is exhausting.
But the biggest question lies here in; what purpose does
anger serve? Internal venting, releasing and purging has its place (everyone
gets angry), but justifying constant anger as “normal and ok”, stands alone in arrogance
and in the ego/mind as righteous indigence. By holding on to it, caressing it and giving it room to
breathe and grow creates poverty in the soul - we become pitiful, and
vindictive.
Not to say that life won’t continue to try and beat us
down – but to look at the problems with an attitude of how did I get here
instead of life did this or that to me is far more empowering. It takes the guesswork out of trying to
figure out someone else’s motive. You see, we can’t ever truly know what goes
on in the minds of another, but we can certainly find a higher place to view it
from, then the solutions are coming form love, not hate.
We never have to agree to poor behavior but we always have
a choice on how we want it affect our being, our essence, our life. Do we free
up and move on, or hold a on to our reactions like they only possession we own?
And there is a huge difference between accepting and
tolerating our emotional choices, but they both leave a mark on our soul. One is by conscious surrender; the
other is by disheartened happenstance.
One is accountability; the other is blame. One holds internal power; the other encourages
weakness.
Everyday we have the opportunity to accept and make amends with our past and forget the anger - Everyday. It is up to each one of us. Do we
endure one more minute of sadness, blame and guilt or is today the day we say,
“ I will not give away one more precious second of my life to something that is
long gone - I did it, I am over it, and I am done”. (dl)
