asked my 16 year old this afternoon, and he goes on....
"Either you control your anger or your anger controls you. Anger can be a great motivator or a great destroyer, which do you prefer yours to be?”
Hmmm let me see.....
“IF you are angry and in control of your anger, then you are
angry on purpose.
When you are angry on
purpose, or for a purpose, you are in control. Being in control of your
emotions is the point...” said I
Never get angry except on purpose. To many people, this
sounds ridiculous. After all, why would you get angry on purpose, isn't anger
something that just happens to you because of something that happens outside of
your control?
No, it actually isn't.
You make the decision to get angry.
Only you decide how you
will respond to the things that happen in your life.
If you aren't in control
of when you get angry and when you don't, then you have given your power away,
and are letting your emotions control you instead of you controlling your
emotions.
This is a dangerous position to be in.
You should decide
when to get angry.
You should control your life, not your emotions.
Please remember this,
"a single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous, that it makes us forget the hundred lovable moments spent together within minute."
I think it is time for you to start using my most favourite word - 'NO' now...it is the MOST powerful word!
