My View...
Anger is simply being stuck in the past or on a particular situation. Forgive and forget. Let go of it, it’s not serving you, so just move on. Being angry will only produce more things to be angry about.
Give yourself the gift of forgiveness, forgive others and forgive yourself because the only one you’re harming is yourself. And how can you really be angry at another anyway, what you’re really angry at is an aspect of yourself.
Let go of being angry and you’ll soon see that there is nothing to be angry about. Learn to forgive and love others instead of getting angry at or about them. It’s just a story, but I’ve seen people get angry at a scene in a movie or on a show, what’s with that?
Clearly it’s something that’s built-up within the individual who is getting angry. Their stuck on a wound or a part of their story and the slightest thing will pop the cork and out comes anger.
My Experience...
In my own personal experience I’ve been involved in a property dispute with my own brother of all things. I won’t go into the details here but a will say that the situation has definitely over stayed it’s welcome, it’s cost me a lot of money and a lot of distress to my family.
Normally I’m a very cool and work through the situation kind of person, however this property issue must be steaming inside and I have to be careful because I can sense it trying to escape particularly when my 14 year old daughter turns up the heat, however I’m conscious of this and quickly turn it down.
However I can certainly relate to where anger can come from and how it can be released.
In the story on the Empathy page a talked about my wife’s nephew Richard, he had some real issues with anger and he was so full of steam that when he was staying with us not only could we FEEL the tension in the air but our dogs sensed it as well and were very unusual when he was around.
Richard was carrying a deep wound and the feeling of being betrayed and he was stuck on his story, he wouldn’t forgive himself or others, he was the classic victim. Fortunately his story has been dissolving and he’s been able to forgive. He’s still working out of the victim mode, but at least now he doesn’t scare the dogs.
The Simple...
I know it’s hard to not get angry sometimes, but what’s the point? If you get angry, become conscious of it. Look at your story and see if there’s a wound there or if you’ve forgotten to forgive yourself or someone. Are you the victim filled with steam waiting to blow-up?
If so, let it go and realize that you are not your story, nor does it help one bit to store and release anger out to others, additionally as long as you’re focusing on angry thoughts you’ll continue attracting more things to be angry about, and you’ll simply be no fun to be around. Forgive, forget, and let it go.
ANGER - I Forgive Myself & Others...
The book advises letting go of our anger, and to clearly express our wants and needs. Don't just vent your anger, channel it to make needed changes. Maybe it's road rage or seething over an injustice or whatever triggers your anger, you don't want to lose control and let the anger rule you.
You cannot change the past, you can only heal the hurt that comes to you from the past. And you can only heal it with love. See others through the eyes of love, see them as they are. They may have been hurt themselves, see this and forgive them for the hurt they dealt you. This is what love is.
Robert shows how forgiveness reduces anxiety & depression while increasing hopefulness in one's future. Forgiveness does not mean accepting continued abuse or even reconciling with the offender. Rather, by giving the gift of forgiveness and letting go of the pain one regains their life.
An exploration of how we can be transformed by the God who gives abundantly and who forgives unconditionally. Demonstrating how to build "a bridge from self-centeredness to generosity." The first half of the book is on giving, and the second on the importance of forgiveness.
Brian shows us how God is intimately involved in all facets of our life, working through others, through circumstances, through our own acceptance of living this human life. What is God doing? Working in power and compassion, and providing help in the silence of His Word, the Bible.
