BEYOND ''Anger'' and ''Depression'': A Possibility


CONSIDER THIS...
''Lighten-up, If You Can''

---All of us seem to have an anger button, although on some it is much more obvious than on others, [not a real bragging point]. I hope you all know that Depression is just Anger Unexpressed, turned inward.
---When something angers us and we express it, we feel much better as long as we can seem to justify it. But, when in a situation that makes us angry and we begin our enraged festering, all the energy we create through our angry thoughts needs a place to go. It will find a spot usually focused below our normal focus, weighing us and bringing us down, causing sluggishness, slowness and depression. If we express our anger we are Ex-pressing. When we hold it in, we are De-pressing. When I say express it, of course, I mean responsibly, positively, productively and creatively. Not just an enraged tirade.
.
---Why Do We Get ANGRY?---
.
---We get angry because we have an agenda, a plan, a desire that isn't expressing itself. We want life to be a certain way, and we ''feel'' someone or something is preventing it. If you live your life or Love with a certain agenda where you expect the outcome to be exactly the way you want it, you will always be setting yourself up for disappointment. Living and Loving with no expectations is very freeing and a far lighter load to carry, than an attitude or a need to control everything, no matter how we justify it.
.
---What Do You SUGGEST?---
.
---Let go, Live, Love, Enjoy- becoming addicted to nothing. Do not allow yourself to be victimized by your own opinions and attitudes, or those of others. If your applecart is easily upset, find out why and fix it.
---Remember: Never avoid the Real Truth for that will only bear discomfort, whether it be anger, depression or greater isolation. Be Well.
