stop getting angry

I find as i get older i have a shorter fuse, and get angry faster, little things wind me up, I never used to be like this and would like to get back to being laid back!

Stop thinking that if I don’t act angry, I’m loosing self respect, or other people’s respect

stop getting angry about the small things.

So I am on my way on a Saturday afternoon to my guitar lesson. I am running a little late and the traffic is not helping. I can help but notice people in and around the shopping area….creating the traffic….WHO HAS MONEY TO WASTE IN THIS ECONOMY!!!! Obviously, they do…or they have credit left to blow!!! It just pissed me off…then each one of them driving in front of me….you know them….those saturday drivers with no intent…..they drive like Ms Daisy…with no place to go except the mall and waste money. I got to my lesson, vented, and realized the only thing to do is to change my lesson to 400 and not 330, so I dont kill someone; namely myself. Why not leave earlier…I am dropping my husband off at work so i can take the car. He is arriving really early to begin with.
I will let you know how it works out.

This past weekend I made it through with out getting angry. I just tried to have the “don’t cry over spilled milk” outlook.

Why? I don’t know. I feel it’s the last hope of getting control of a situation. I can’t stand how I feel after I go into a rage my body is so jittery. I am better than anger. I should not allow external forces should to control me.

Tao Te Ching
Verse 34
Way flows and ebbs, creating and destroying,
Implementing all the world, attending to the tiniest details,
Claiming nothing in return.

It nurtures all things,
Though it does not control them;
It has no intention,
So it seems inconsequential.

It is the substance of all things;
Though it does not control them;
It has no exception,
So it seems all-important.
The sage would not control the world;
He is in harmony with the world.
