When angry dont

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog of best kept secrets. You may have heard my recent pod cast called "when angry don't". http://bestkeptsecrets.blip.tv/file/2211956/

Negative things happen every day. The second you learn to take control over yourself when these things happen, the second you control your life. We all get the pleasure of experiencing a computer that is being stubborn, a person who dares to cut us off on the freeway, a spilled drink, a dropped cell phone and the lovely fax machine just to name a few.

The question you need to ask yourself when these things happen before you get angry and lose your cool is.... Do I really want this to happen more often? If you like these situations then go ahead and curse, use God's name in vain, throw things, put up the middle finger ect because you will surely get more of that. If you are really lucky you will get a chain of bad events right away.
The opposite is true though if you just continue like nothing ever happened.

This does take discipline and practice but pays off many times over. If I am stuck in traffic or get a flat tire I will automatically assume that God has made this happen for me so that I will not be in an accident up ahead. Notice I said for me. You must have the attitude of thanks that everything happens for you, not to you.

You are in complete control of where you are now and where you go from here. I will explain more of this in my future blogs and pod cast. In the meant time. Have a blessed day.
