    I used anger when I didn't get chosen in a selection process (that hadn't the proper setup for a professional) to create some works that caught the attention of the public. Today I'm in a much better position than I'd be if I had been selected :)

    Love this. As a good "catholic" kid, we were taught not to show anger. But then, yo realized that even Christ got angry at money changers. I also like the notion that anger can be the fuel to help us forge ahead. Thanks for being vulnerable.

    To an extent. Becoming angry when needed is normal. But as I tell my own subscribers--staying in that state is not. Suffering from chronic anger causes a few problems. First it impedes your progress. By draining your energy that you should be using to advance yourself. Ever been angry all day at work then skipped that night workout? That's probably why. But it also isn't physically healthy and can lead to long term effects on the heart and doctors now think future cancer as well. Not to mention high blood pressure. There are two simple methods I tell my own people how to control anger. One you have with you--your breathing. You can breathe in a meditative state while walking down the street. You picture a coil slowly unwinding as if you were breathing through your stomach. Slow and in and out. Wind the coil and let it go slowly. It calms you down and if you do it every few hours for maybe ten reps then it keeps you calm. Second--reflect on what you are growing angry about. Is it really going to affect you even four months from now? You'll find many times it won't. So I would use these techniques to minimize anger so you can only progress forward. Hope that helps someone out there---Charles

    An animal caught in a trap, will gnaw off it's own leg to escape. What will you do?
    I must not fear... I must not fear... Fear is the mind-killer. Fear, is the little death that brings obliteration.
    And I'll face my fear and I'll permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past... I will turn the inner eye and see its path. And where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

      @@lizziemonk927 Hi Lizzie, as children we are born innocent. Then as we grow up we become traumatized, usually first by our very own parents, and then by the people we meet along the way.
      Growing up traumatized in this world basically recreates us into who we think we are today. We become the sum total of our experiences. That is miserable, angry, hateful, depressed human beings. This is NOT who we were created to be!
      Return to your life giving Father by forgiving your parents for the initial trauma. They did do the very best they knew how.
      This forgiveness is the key to being set free from ALL your life traumas. EVERYTHING!!!
      I can only try to explain but you have to experience it yourself to believe it.
      In conversation with you I can explain faster and clearer if you can Zoom/Skype/Etc.
