There are so many experts on anger,that the competition is so large and great,that,the inexplicable outcome is,….Another way to bore people to death as fully grown adults.There are many good reasons why people are angry,and I will not suggest I know them at all.Attitude is somehow linked to outcome,and a outcome doesnt always need,an observer.I own my anger,and you will not be given a share.

Great Words Craig!….
Another man that has a philosphy like your own, is the director/producer Brian Grazier. I watched a docco about him & a very good friend of his, can’t recall who it was, sorry (Robert Redford Production, if you want to look for it. Only a few in the series that look at different friends & relationships amongst others).
To hear the two of you say very similar things about anger, is in itself, very soothing. I know I was rejuvenated by it & I know others will be too!
Thanx & Hugz & Cheers!
Carmon

I think the best advice I received on anger is to take 10 seconds and think – “if I DON’T do anything about this, is it going to bother me tomorrow (or next week/month/year)”.

If the answer is “no”, then just let it go – what’s the point in getting worked up over an incident that you will have forgotten in 24 hours? If the answer is “yes”, then you have to decide the best way to deal with it.

Really easy advice to understand; putting it in practice … well, I’m working on it!

You keep finding me. What a great article.
I don’t get angry and say to myself that whatever it is, doesn’t matter – not worth it. It’s really a way to justify not having to get involved and show how you really feel about something.
The hard part is changing!! ‘Cause it has become a deepseated habit or behaviour.

Hi Milly,

I have to do that daily.
Hourly.

If I'm feeling frustration, annoyance or even dislike towards someone... It's often not appropriate or beneficial to express that (especially considering the volume of people I deal with and my role at work). Being human means that people 'bother' me regularly.. but I'm interested in creating positive outcomes.. so I need to manage my feelings and emotions accordingly.
I'm not always good at it and I offend people every day.. in fact I got an email ten minutes ago from a lady who saw me on TV and isn't a fan (to say the least).
Apparently I'm blunt, arrogant and unrealistic.
Hey, at least she's expressing herself... good for her.

Telling someone how you feel isn't always well received. We need to weigh up each situation and person and make a gut judgement call.

Good question.

Manage emotions is always going to be one of our biggest challenges.
