Is it possible to turn anger into a positive?

I’m mad at the world lately. It’s for many reasons. I’ll admit I’m a very spiteful and revenge-oriented person. I’ve always tried to get…..more than “even.”

Things perceived as personal attacks have usually led to me fucking YOU more than you tried to fuck ME. But the current adversary seems to be more “the world” than something I can simply finger as an asshole person.

Lately, meaning the last few years, I feel like I channel my anger as revenge. For instance, I used to hit the gym pumping exciting and enjoyable music to maintain and/or tone myself. Fun music and good vibes to get that lift up. It’s not the same anymore.

Now, in the past few years, I feel more motivated to stay “powerful”, at least optically, to intimidate anyone I receive as a threat.

The reality is, I’m targeting gains in physique and finance as a way to make perceived “threats” take a step back. My most “productive” days would be fueled by any emotions my Lord and Savior would approve of.

Is it even possible to be angry AND make quality “gains” in life?

Any favorite you can lead me to?

I do believe anger, hatred, and misery are powerful motivators; I don't agree with "be happy!" shit which is just repressing real emotions. If you get in between the lizard-brain emotions and the instructions it gives the cerebellum, it's possible to redirect the energy.
