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?

If you have time, volunteer to help people. I know it sounds gay but sometimes when I'm fucking pissed, I kill em with kindness. You don't have to help people that piss you off but help someone, anyone, you feel deserves it whenever your angry. I find that usually takes the pressure off my anger to see someone actually appreciate something.

Not gay. Great advice. I’ve been away from the church I started going to while a house is being built. It’s been a like 2 months+ but I should be back out there in a few weeks if all goes well. I’d do stuff like help on donation days, carry stuff for the food box handouts, and help some older people with a few guys like cutting grass and fixing steps and stuff. I do miss that because it’s socializing that does me some good. For sure.

We can all use a reminder sometimes. I feel the same way as you lately and you just reminded me of a solution that helped me. I will be taking my own advice. Thanks for the reminder!
