Everyone has experienced it at least once in their life. Some have experienced it at least every day.
I have traveled all over the world and have seen it in every
place. I have struggled with it as well. It’s a family problem for generations.
It can be your greatest motivator or worst enemy.
Anger. Anger is defined by the Webster Dictionary as a
strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused by a wrong; wrath; ire.
I will show you not only how to control your anger from a
Christian perspective but also have manage it until it motivates you; not
hinders you. Get Ready. Anger is nothing more than manifestation of fear. Once
you eliminate fear, the anger will be gone. Become
Fearless.
Read an excerpt:
Section 2 - What is Fear and its connection to
anger?
Fear is defined as a perceived threat of some type. It can
be emotional or physical. When you
feel that you’re in some form of danger. This activates your
fight or flight response. Most animals respond to threat by either fighting or
fleeing. However, we don't always have the option to fight what threatens us.
Instead, we have anger. Words are the civilized way that we get to fight
threat.
Some of my biggest blowups often involved a fear of being
alone. When I have depended on
people to reciprocate support for me on various levels, (new
venue, in a relationship, or just life) they have disappointed me. I have never
felt more rage in my life. It wasn't the disappointment that I was feeling or
the feeling of being used. It was the thought that all my hard work wasn't good
enough. I was unworthy, not loved, and alone.
Anger is just a manifestation of fear. For some people, when
you are fearful of something, the first response that comes up is usually
anger. Anger is a mask of fear.
I have learned that despite it all, I must be able to rely
on myself and God. People, situations, and organization will fail you time and
time again. When God is with you, nothing is against you.
You can do all in Christ that strengthens us (which is my
current Church's motto).
Through my personal evolution of how to handle my anger, I
have become fearless. I think before I move, I think instead of becoming angry.
I am also slow to anger. I have now begun to think about the motivations behind
people's actions. Sometimes, the only answer is indifference. Never fight anger
with anger. It causes long reaching effects in ways you cannot even possibly
imagine.
Fear is nothing more than an illusion of a possible threat.
If you can control your response to your fears, then the anger will melt
away.
My review of Anger: How to Control It So It Won't Control You
Four Stars
Anger, as its title suggest, is a book that identifies an emotion that is common in out society. It concisely , almost too simplistically, addresses the causes of anger and explores the connection that fear has to anger - that anger is a manifestation of fear. In making this connection the author validates both fear and anger as acceptable emotions as shown in the bible. Anger is explored from a uniquely Christian perspective as an emotion that has a place in our lives but one that also must be controlled. This book provides easy to follow ways to manage anger with prayer, diet and exercise while providing some good takeaways for anyone wanting to get a handle on their anger.
