Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 How to Make Yourself Stronger... and Stronger © 2007 Julie Jordan Scott " We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. " by Carlos Castaneda I saw this quote and just knew it was specifically for me. I have been simmering in anger lately. In the last twenty four hours I have a-ha'ed that I am learning to focus and channel my anger instead of just allowing it to run amuck. I have also discovered that masking my anger and pretending it away only serves as a conduit to more pain and less productivity. Anger is just like any other emotion - it is there for a reason and more than anything, wants to be of service in getting us to the " other side " . I was choosing to see anger as misery inducing rather than productive and helpful. What a difference one quote from Carlos Castaneda makes. I asked myself this question: What am I doing to make myself strong? This sort of sat like a lifeless form of mush in my mind. So I did the best thing I could, I made my question very specific. What are three things I am doing to make myself strong? 1. I am sharing my experiences with people, being real, authentic and fully present to my anger. 2. I am asking for help from friends who can be there to take away some of the pressure-cooker-stuff that tends to just make everything feel worse. This pressure- cooker-stuff tends to be what makes the anger-energy spout directionless from all sides rather than in a laser-beam-of-empowered force. Yay for brave friends who think I am just as much fun angry as I am when I am smiling. 3. Even at the height of my anger I have been open to soulfulness. There are moments when the divine enters in and tucks my spirit under a quilt of love. I swear, my hair gets stroked and I hear that hussshhhh, husshhhhh sound that I used to love receiving from my mom. Each time I open to soulfulness-within-the-anger, I know more strength. Wow. I am definitely not miserable in my anger anymore. I am amazed. I am stronger by far. I am even smiling. So, now that I am smiling, I have to nudge you a bit. It's your turn. What are you doing to make yourself strong? If this sits like a lifeless form of mush in your mind. let's try making the question very specific. What are three things you are doing to make yourself strong? Still nothing? What is one thing you can do to make yourself feel stronger before this day is gone? There you are. Activate Your Passion.
