![]() ![]() I was angry a lot.Īngry at the nonprofit system that chewed people up and spit them out.Īngry that so many workers I knew couldn’t seem to make end meetĪngry that our planet was on fire and no one seemed to care.Īnd then I made a whole business out of my anger. I went through life trying not to be angry. I went to high school with a guy named Josh who kept saying Anger is a gift, it was his catchphrase, and I didn’t really understand it until later. One of the ways we think anger is a problem is because we’ve had ragemonsters in our lives.Īnd that’s normal, to feel like anger leads to rage, and rage leads to abuse, and no one wants that.īut that’s not really where anger has to go.Īnger can be channeled into making that world you want. And they take their anger out on other people. What if what you do with emotions is the problem?Ī ragemonster is someone who is always angry. ![]() What if emotions are the way you get information about your inner world? What if there was no such thing as an emotion it wasn’t ok to feel? What if there are actually a ton of emotions BENEATH anger and you have no idea? An Anger iceberg if you will? I went out with someone recently who said, “I’m not angry” and said it a couple times when talking about their family, and I thought, “Oh you are definitely angry”Īnd when the subject came up again, they admitted they were angry, but they didn’t want to be angry, because they felt anger was a negative emotion. ![]()
