Anger

Often times we don’t realize that behind most anger is passion. Passion for an idea, feeling, thought, action….  


You might get fired up when things don’t start to happen the way you would like them to and then anger sets in. Most of us have heard that it is not the feeling of anger that is “bad” but the way we handle it.

Are you a person who gets angry and begins yelling, cussing, hitting or throwing a mini tantrum…?

Or, are you a person who gets angry and knows how to communicate what you are fired up about without causing pain to others? Can you get angry without creating an atmosphere of chaos and disconnect with those around you? These behaviors are what turns most people away. They can cause the most grief after our “mini tantrum” is over.

So what can you do instead? How do you acknowledge the presence of anger and handle it, without creating chaos, pain or distance to those around you?

My question for you is...  "what is behind your anger?" "What are you really passionate about that causes you to get so fired up?" 

When you find the source of those answers, dealing with your anger takes on a different meaning.  

I challenge you to learn how to get fired up and fight for your dreams in a way that doesn’t turn people away, cause a disconnect between the people you are around or sets the stage for others to become defensive.
