Living your best life
Well , I am no longer on the anchor desk at Fox 2.
I am retired, but I do have a little bit of advice ïżŒ from my long life that I think can be helpful to folks
How you survive this life may depend on one thing: how well you keep your temper under control. Flying off the deep end angrily is a sure way to sink yourself.
Itâs one of the quickest ways to ruin opportunities. Itâs a guaranteed way to sink relationships with your significant other and your children. Nobody wants to be around someone theyâre terrified of. No one wants to be around someone who, at the drop of a hat, is screaming, yelling, throwing things, intimidating, and bullying everybody around them.
Some people have to look in the mirror and make sure theyâre not that person. If you are, itâs a matter of seeking help while thereâs time before itâs too late, before your anger or lack of anger management ruins your life, as it has for so many people.
Look at all the people in prison today because they lost their temper at the wrong time. Look how many people have ruined families, taking the lives of other people because of an angry rage. Or Road rage. Look how many people have ended up in hot water themselves, coming out on the bad end of a knife fight or a gunfight and losing their temper at the wrong time.
For example, at work, when they decided they were going to go off on the boss because they couldnât control their temper, the next thing you know, they were out the door, losing their income, losing their house, and perhaps ending up homeless.
There are no good results for not being able to control your temper. Nothing good comes of it, so if you want to live your best life and you have a bad temper, you must begin working on that now.
I recommend seeing an expert therapist and letting them sit down with you. Talk about it and try to get to the bottom of the reason. If you are fortunate to realize this flaw before itâs too late and before youâve hurt somebody else, count yourself fortunate.
Some folks may have a chemical imbalance, and need medical treatment, and for others, the pressures of life may be overwhelming. Those are people who may be super frustrated and continually feel like theyâre getting a bad deal in life, and they get angry over the hand that life has dealt them.
Some people have an ego thatâs too big and canât stand being challenged. They always have to be the main person. They always have to win the argument. They canât understand that others have sense and will demean others because they believe theyâre the best. Often, when they canât get their way, the anger issue kicks in. And in life, youâre not going to get your way all the time.ïżŒ
Sometimes, you need professional help, and thatâs why when things go wrong for you. You could end up in court, and the judge will order you to take anger management classes. If things really go south for you ïżŒ, people have to take anger management classes in prison often because sometimes anger issues land them behind bars
The time to get help is right now. Pray to God that God gives you the strength to go for help. God will bless everybody, no matter what youâve done or where you are. God will help you and lead you where you need to be.
Often, it takes supernatural strength to overcome things like anger issues. Itâs nearly impossible to do it on your own. Otherwise, it wouldâve been done already.
So tell yourself today youâre going to make a change. If you suffer from anger issues, tell yourself that youâre going to change and ask God to help you so that you can start down the road to living your best lifeïżŒ.
