What's the use of being mad at something? We have all heard the term it takes more energy to be mad than it does to be happy. Being upset is such a waste of time, we as people have so much more to worry about than to be upset about something petty. It's not healthy to hold grudges just because you feel like you should be mad at a person. In all actuality it really isn't that serious to begin with. Yes, there are situations that are just unforgivable and is harder not to be upset at than anything, but try to always keep your cool. A lot of the time people do things to get a rise out of you, and they win if you let it get to you. We all tend to get upset with our kids and significant others when we do not agree with something that they have done. Let's take sometime to understand where that irritation comes from before overreacting. The worst thing you can do is be mad about something and take it out on someone else. Despite being mad try to realize that you don't have a reason to be mad at that other person. Try to move on from what made you mad and focus on more positive things. I've heard of plenty of people breaking up over the most minimal things, and it could all be avoided by understanding what the real issue is. Sometimes we are not able to think past the situation at hand, but we should think about a few things before pursuing an argument. We should first put ourselves in the others shoes to see how we would react if the roles were reversed. You will realize that the way you intended on coming at that particular person would be wrong. Also take the time to realize if you are really mad or if your just irritated by the situation. Usually you will realize that you're not really mad and you will be able to approach the situation a lot better. I sometimes try to make it a point to let it be known that I'm not upset going into the situation. It can seem that saying your not upset would be doing to much, but it lets the person you are talking to understand that we do not need to be upset when having this conversation.
Wasting your time on being upset in the end is not worth it, and you can find so many more important things to do with that time and energy. Who knows how much time we all have left, but lets not spend it being upset over something you will forget about tomorrow. Let us know of ways you get over being angry by leaving a comment.
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson-
I love the pic with the two guys fighting. I don't have anger issues myself but found that others with Anger issues need to be left alone, they don't listen and won't change until they come to a realization on they're own.
