Come out of the (d)Anger zone

 

There comes a time when you have to stop looking back and ruminating on those situations and behaviours that generated feelings of anger in you. Reflection is an excellent thing to do, but eventually your gaze has to move elsewhere. From the mistakes made to the lessons learnt, from anxious internal scrutiny to preparation for new possibilities.  Remaining centred on what’s gone before blinds you with an image, or consumes you in a story that is no longer true.  Mind captured in the past, trying to function in the now, whilst quickly speeding towards your future - is a confusing way to live.

Refusing to look forward hinders your ability to recognise good prospects.  Prolonged meditation on the wrongs of the past affects your vision and direction.   Rather than gnawing on yours or other people’s failings, consider what your experience has taught you.  Think about how you can shape it into a useful tool for you.  Become compassionate towards yourself, others and the circumstances.   Allow that to direct you into choosing to do what’s fitting, what’s best, and what’s right.   Give yourself release to make useful decisions about where your life should lead.
