We get angry when things don’t go our way. Anger can consume a lot of energy as will the resulting frustrations. These are states in which we are focussed on the problem. The result of focussing on problem is more problems, being in a state of stress, possible depression and/or long term negative effects on the disposition. Why not consider surrendering? When I say surrender, I don’t mean giving up. Surrendering your unproductive states. Anger is not a productive state. It is an all-consuming fire. Sometimes when I get angry I forget everyone and everything, I become blind and can say some pretty ignorant things. It becomes a struggle with myself for significance. This is a battle I cannot win. Rational questions are great to clear up thinking and focus on solutions. This drives the mind from becoming consumed by problems and working towards solutions. There is still a tendency for people to fall into a state of forcing solutions to come. This is a problem in itself and only creates more suffering. Ask your mind a question oriented for a solution only once and then go do something mundane like washing the dishes or taking a long walk. Your subconscious will be working in the background and a solution will surface. This is the state of surrender. This is where your solution will appear. Live easy, stop stressing. Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
