Angry Man!

"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't”

~ Jerry Rice

Unfortunately and certainly uncharacteristically for me, I spent the majority of my morning yesterday being that angry man that I have worked so hard over the last few years to avoid.

I was angry at everyone and everything and it seemed I was getting angrier by the minute.

I was angry at the traffic on the highway.

I was angry at the utilities company for the detours they cause.

I was angry at the inconsiderate drivers who block intersections.

I was angry at the policeman who sits at the side of the road at construction sights

I was just flat out angry.

As I drove around I realized that I was most angry at myself.

Angry at myself for the lack I was feeling.

Angry at myself for not having been a great provider for my family.

Angry at myself because the choices I made in my life made my family's life tougher than it needed to be.

Angry at myself for not being skinny.

Angry at myself for all sorts of r=incredibly stupid reasons.

I was being very unfair if not illogical in my anger.

Eventually I came to the realization that there was no sense in analyzing my anger.

I just needed to get over it,which was actually pretty easy.

It meant doing 3 simple things.

1) Be nice-to myself and others.

2) Do the right thing- ALWAYS!

and # 3

3) SMILE!

It worked!
