#faithbites #faithjourney Angry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This #faithbite is going to the pot calling the kettle black or an example where I should practice what I preach, but here goes nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past couple of days I have been angry. I receive bad news from someone and I get mad. Someone doesn’t do something that I thought they should and I let myself get mad. Others provide feedback that I don’t agree with and I get angry. It hasn’t been a good couple of days, but I have faith and know things will get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you noticed something about the paragraph above, there were lot’s of I statements. I got mad, I got angry, I received bad news. Many times when we talk about how we feel, especially angry, we say so and so got me mad. I’m mad because he did this or she didn’t do that. It’s her fault I am mad. If he just did this, then I wouldn’t be mad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the thing, (and yes, I know it sounds like Shrink Speak), no one can make you mad. You let yourself get mad by how you view, react, and internalize what is going on. I’m not saying it’s easy to not get mad. I’m not saying it’s not easy to blame others for it. But in the end, it is ourselves who let us get mad or angry or upset. We aren’t to push down these feelings and ignore it, but accept them, and work through them. We have guidance to help us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
