...for good

I have learned to use my anger for good. . . . Without it, we would not be motivated to rise to a challenge. It is an energy that compels us to define what is just and unjust. —Gandhi

me too...

Sadly 4woody, few people seem to acquire the ability to harness the power of their anger to use for good. Mostly they just seem to give in to it and use it in violence against others to try to get their own way. Gandhi on the other hand used his anger to fuel the courage to bring about change through peaceful protest, as well as managing to persuade others to follow his example. It's a wonderful ideal, but sadly very rare.

I have channelled my anger into myself, in order to defeat my Inner Voice, which keeps trying to tell me I can't do things. I tell it Watch Me!

Cheers, Midori

I'm an obstinate old cuss at the best of times. I believe if you want something doing, do it yourself!

you sound very determined as well. I’m glad you have cultivated a helpful use for your anger.

It helps me to combat my Fibromyalgia, and stops me sinking into depression. Attitude is everything in my case.

Cheers, Midori

there really is nothing like chronic pain... I’ve never encountered anything quite so formidable.
