Anger: The Greatest Motivator of All
The
following is an excerpt from my upcoming book,
An Inner Journey: Live Your Life Purpose.
When
you experience the emotion of anger, you create one of the most
extremely
powerful energies that we humans have been given to work with.
Although
powerful, the energy of anger isn't bad or good. It simply exists
as energy. What you choose to do with it determines if it's bad
or good. As with any energy, you can choose to use it in harmful
ways or in beneficial ways.
Fire,
for instance is an energy that we can create. Once created, some
of it's beneficial uses may be to toast your marshmallows for your
S'mores, heat your home, or cook your meals. The same energy can
be used in harmful ways, such as in cases of malicious arson. It's
simply energy, and what determines if it's good or bad, harmful
or beneficial, is how we choose to use it.
The
same is true of the energy of anger. Once created, it can be used
in ways that are harmful to others or yourself, or it can be used
to benefit all concerned.
An
important fact about energy is that it's perpetual. Once created
it cannot be destroyed. It can, however, be transformed. The transformation
process occurs as the energy is used and whether it will transform
into a beneficial or a harmful energy depends on the use chosen.
So,
once you have created the energy of anger, you have choices about
how you are going to use this energy.
You
can stifle your anger, stuff it inside of you. But remember,
the energy you've created is perpetual. It won't go away simply
because you're keeping it inside of you. What it will do
is lodge itself somewhere in your body and create disease. The common
question, "What's eating you?" is indicative of the anger
stored in the person in question and represents the fact that it's
eating away at their internal parts. High blood pressure, ulcers,
colitis, and other digestive diseases are common in people who keep
their anger stuffed inside of themselves.
You
can use your anger to create more anger by sharing it
with others. When you give voice to your anger, such as telling
everyone you know the story of what that so-and-so did to you, you
share not only your words, you share your anger. This is not to
say that talking about the incident is wrong. Talking with someone
who can assist you in discovering a solution to the incident will
help you transform the energy of anger into a beneficial energy
of positive action. Using the energy of anger for simply complaining,
however, grows the energy.
You
can vent your anger with hard physical activity, such
as chopping wood, running, or working out. This transforms the energy
of anger to physical energy, which is beneficial energy.
You
can choose to use the energy of anger to motivate you into creating
a better situation. This
is the highest purpose for this energy and is why we were given
the emotion of anger. It is the greatest motivator of all. You
have the opportunity to use this energy to create something better
out of the situation that created it in the first place.
An
example might be a woman who is experiencing difficulties at work
with one of her co-workers who undermines her and belittles her.
She can choose to use her anger as a motivation to look more closely
at exactly what it is that she is getting angry about. As a result
of this process, she may discover how she has been in victim stance
and has been giving her power away to the co-worker and others.
She might then choose to set personal boundaries that will garner
her the respect she desires. As a result of transforming her anger
into the highest form for which it was intended - as motivation
- she will enjoy a higher quality of life.
Look
deeply into a situation that angers you. How might you transform
your anger energy into motivation so that you might discover ways
to change the situation into one in which all would benefit? How
can you use this energy for the highest and best purpose for all
concerned?
Love,
Kathy
