The deception of anger

The deception of anger

I wanted to be an encouragement today. To write something that would lift a spirit or build someone up as there are many articles that are frustrating to read. But the more I thought of what to write the less I was encouraging.

Many of the posts I was reading were indeed irritating and downright hard to ignore since they actually had very little to say. So, the more I thought and read the more I was becoming angry. But then I noticed something. I was angry at nothing.

I was frustrated not because of other people or their words but my own lack of imagination and ability to focus on accomplishing what I desired.

Nobody was at fault but mine and I have the opportunity to repair my own attitude. I was curious. Why had I permitted myself to become upset over nothing? I was deceiving myself into believing that things were bad when in fact ignorance was the real issue. Mine and others.

Many people are very upset over many different things, but the majority of issues I noticed were based on ignorance, not actual facts or situations. Anger or frustration prevented us from seeing the truth and simply moving on.

Anger was stopping us from seeing and understanding. Huh.

If you are angry this day or even if you have carried it over from yesterday, please take a moment and adjust your perception and make sure that what you are upset about is truly what you believe is the issue. Anger has a very crafty way of changing how we see things and leads us into self-deception.

I truly wish you a very great day. A day you can enjoy and recall favorably.

There was always a reason people were telling me to stop and smell the roses.

Blessings!!
