New Blog

Postby LawP » Tue Aug 19, 2014 9:53 am

Hi all,

So i've started a new blog which is helping me deal with my anger issues.

combattherage.wordpress

I'd really appreciate some followers, and advice.

I don't pretend to be an expert, but writing is rather therapeutic so i'm using this blog as both a means to deal with my own issues, and potentially help others. If it helps it helps, if it doesn't then there's no harm done.

It would also be great to have some comments on the blog, my reactions, what I could have done better, any similar situations you've been in... Every day's a school day!

Thanks for listening :)

Do you find it easy to forgive?

Not even slightly...

I've held on to grudges for far too long. I realise where people are coming from when they tell me to let it go, but at the same time I can still remember what people did to piss me off.

Tends to be worse with people that are closer to me. Trust issues perhaps.

Would you prefer to be an alpha male or have consistent happiness?

I've never been an alpha male. No desire to be either.

So you would prefer to be happy, rather than compete with people?

I think it's possible to be incredibly competitive without wanting to be an alpha male.

I'm competitive, but it's so that I can prove to myself that i'm the best. Or more to the point, i'm the best that I can be. I may not be the best at something, but if it's as good as I can do then i'm happy with that.

We are all unique and wonderful in our own right, we all have something special to offer the world that only we can bring to it. Comparing ourselves with others and competing harder than we are comfortable with is the root of anger. Forgiving ourselves for being who we are, being happy and satisfied with who we are, is easy when we allow our ego to dissolve. Have you suffered enough yet from protecting an ego that settles for dissatisfaction?

You could be easier on yourself, accept yourself more, respect yourself more, approve of yourself more, you are trying your best, you are powerful, you are capable, you are strong, you are gentle, you are loving, you are kind, you are amazing, you can believe in yourself more, only you can do this for yourself
