Anger Is Caused By Constant Blaming, But The Truth Will Set You Free
Recently, I have been following Tony Robbin’s Breakthrough on Youtube. In this particular episode, a former NBA player hated his coach so much for letting him go after he had a stroke (at the age of 34!).
After that incident, he could no longer function as a man anymore. His bills piled up, he sat around at home and his family was falling apart. I love how Tony guides him into finding out the truth behind his angst and helps him free himself from the anger he harboured towards his coach.
The truth is, his coach did what was right for the team. All his pent up anger was due to the story he had about his circumstances. He blamed everyone and everything but himself. The minute he learnt to let go of the blame, he felt free. I hope you will find inspiration from watching this video.
The Difference Between Anger And Rage
A lot of people asked me, what’s the difference between anger and rage?
In the literal context, when we mention anger, it means an emotion which we experience when our needs, and expectations are not met, personal beliefs differ from others and also when we are treated unjustly or unrespected.
Rage refers to an action(s) in response to the experience of anger, which usually occurs when people do not handle or manage their anger appropriately, thus allowing the feelings of anger to escalate and eventually erupt like a volcano.
So the next question should be… What can I do to manage anger/rage?
Well, since we know that rage is a cause of anger, we have to tackle the root cause… anger. When I say tackling, it doesn’t mean eliminating all forms of anger. Like I have always preached… Anger, when used effectively can prevent instances of rages from occuring. Anger is a sign that something is wrong and when something is wrong, it should be discussed in an orderly manner so that we can solve the underlying problem.
The next time you feel abit angry, pause and immediately recognize that your feelings or needs have been unmet, and decide that you would like to discuss your feelings with the other party involved before things escalate. That is one good way to prevent rage from occurring.
Don’t Be Angry At Your Circumstances, Don’t Hate Life.
It doesn’t matter how hard things are… If there’s a will, there is always a way.
