A dear friend posted this on my Facebook. I have looked at it off and on all day. Sitting here trying to wrap my sense of understanding around the thoughts that are plaguing my mind, I am re-centered around this. Such a comfort a friend can be, when no words are there to help, a whole string of them appear.
This anger has boiled and festered inside for way to long. Slowly penetrating my very being, the person I wish to be, and the person I am currently. Devouring every bit of good and kindness out of me leaving a desolate and barren aura that kills or drives away all good things from me.
This simple phrase has encouraged me to see that this anger is pivotal in the development, growth, and direction of me. This emotion that I place such a negative label upon can have such an amazing impact on healing and development if we mold this emotion the right way.
Courage, we all need courage. The ability to do something that may be fearful, scary, unknown. Move on, continue with life, make change.
I have no idea why before now, I never considered these two emotions linked so closely as this. Logically speaking it makes perfect sense. If molded correctly Anger can lead to Courage. By definition, Hope is 1) the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best; 2) to feel that something desired may happen. Without the desire for things to change, we cannot have Hope. If we do not face our Anger, we may never find the Courage to change it, to grow.
Here is to facing our Anger, finding our Courage, and believing in our Hopes and dreams.
"God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us - in the dreariest and most dreaded moments - can see a possibility of hope." ~ Maya Angelou.
