Anger Management And Prevention
How often has your anger ever made any positive difference to situations? Probably
never.
Have you ever noticed that when you get angry with someone it seems to push them
away, they go into hiding, they go underground, and then it’s not possible to influence
them and help them to change.
Then some people think, that if you don’t get angry about anything and with anyone
you might as well lie down and be a doormat, one on which anyone can walk over.
Well you could if you think doormat is a role you would like to play, but it’s not
compulsory. You could be assertive (confidently aggressive in a positive sense or
self-assured) instead of angry. You are fortunate to have an intellect that knows
the way to differentiate between right and wrong, you are human so you have the
ability to be understanding and compassionate (merciful), and you have a unique
contribution to make to this game called life. So why not do something to help situations
become better by applying the qualities of generosity, kindness and mercy instead
of becoming angry? If you care about the situation so much what are you waiting
for? Trouble is, the angry person is a bit like the compulsive complainer about
situations. If you complain (get upset) about situations it means you have an image
of how you would prefer things to be but you are not prepared to actually do something
about it.

Message for the day 30-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who has the power of realisation is the one who can bring transformation.
Projection: When something goes wrong we immediately begin to look for excuses
why that mistake happened. This finishes our power of realisation and we will not
be able to recognise our own mistake. Then we will not be able to work at improving
ourselves and we will not be able to bring any transformation.
Solution: Instead of looking for excuses for what happened, we need to take
the opportunity to check within ourselves and see our own mistake. When we recognise
our mistake, however small it may be, we will be able to work on it. Only when we
are able to realise our own mistake, will we be able to bring about transformation
in ourselves.
