Anger Is Like A Fat, Ugly Frog That No One Wants To Kiss. What Do You Think?

I like this comparison that I got in the email today and it is oh so true. Read this and tell me what you think? "Anger is like a fat, ugly frog that no one wants to kiss. But even a child knows that when we kiss a frog, a gift appears." -- Robert Holden Author of Shift Happens ******************************************************************** We all know there is nothing pretty about anger, but the truth is it gets even uglier when we try to suppress it. The further down we try to push it, the more insidious it becomes, outwardly causing irrational thinking, depression, rage and violence, while inwardly creating ulcers and heart attacks, migraines and addictions. And every time we try to hide our anger, we miss an opportunity to heal and change. Instead of trying to bury our anger, we're better off when we acknowledge its presence; accept that it has arisen to expose our doubts and fears, our old wounds and our own lack of self. Once we've "kissed the frog" by accepting its presence, we can let it go, blessing our old wounds, releasing our fears, and restoring inner peace as we choose not to react but to create a better way for ourselves and our world. May you always be willing to let anger go and accept the gift it brings.
