Anger affects us all to some degree. While anger can be fleeting for most, some people allow anger to brew inside of them. Anger is an emotion that’s felt deep within the body that can fester and eat away at your very soul.
But everyone needs to let go of anger over time. Although some moments require an angry reaction to fuel positive change and motivation. However, if anger is not driving motivation for positive change, it’s only consuming your thoughts and destroying your capacity to love.
