What will my anger contribute here?

What makes you angry? Injustice? War? Poverty? Your partner coming home late from work every night? Your boss or co-workers being stupid and lazy? What else? I'm guessing you'd like to change these things for the better, and you become angry out of frustration, because you think you're supposed to be angry, or from the belief that anger will somehow create the changes you'd like? Will it? Probably not. Two things that anger will create are: stress and toxicity in your body, and; resistance and reaction in other people. Will either of these things help you to make the changes you'd like? No. They might even make it harder. If you'd like to be free from anger's control, to create what you'd really like, ask “What will anger contribute here?” and then “What else is possible to create the changes I'd like to see?” What if you could see anger for what it was: a distraction?
