Anger and worry, they must be as
expensive as diamonds.
When you feel and display anger, you, at
times, do so because of your displeasure
and/or your belligerence aroused by a
wrong, an injury, or an injustice.
You may feel provoked, resentful, or
exasperated and it will show.
Your behavior will come across as inimical.
Ask yourself, is this a real or perceived
grievance?
Does your indignation represent a deep
‘justified’ anger?
Anger takes such a toll on your mental
and physical capacity that I suggest, it
should be saved only for real injustice.
When we worry, we torment ourselves
with unease and anxiety.
We interfere with our comfort and peace
of mind, because we are concerned about
something uncertain or potentially
dangerous.
This thing we are going to let ourselves
worry about, is it truly potentially
dangerous?
Allowing something that is not potentially
dangerous to rob you of your peace and
your joy is harmful … to YOU!
We may want to work to allow our minds
and hearts to only pay for anger and worry
when there is an injustice or a dangerous
concern.
Make anger and worry as expensive for
you to buy as a flawless, well cut, polished,
rare, stone … the most beautiful diamond.
Spend anger and worry dollars only on
causes that are diamonds.
Anger and worry entail too great an
expense on our minds and souls, we have
to treat anger and worry as though they
are as expensive as diamonds.
