The Proper Approach to Anger

Image
By
Anger is a natural emotional response to provocation. One of the most common and normal phenomenon of every human being is anger. No one born of human does not get angry, reactions only make the difference.
   One dangerous thing about anger is that, if not properly managed or tempered, it can lead to grudges and internal unrest (lack of peace). Anger like every other kinds of emotions needs to be reacted to and not ignored. But it is unhealthy if you let your anger spark.
    Reacting to anger is not synonymous to sprouting or flagging your feelings. Many people when they are angry, it immediately shows on every parts of their body, face becomes fierce and every one is immediately aware that they are angry. That kind of reaction is an overreaction and dangerous to one's health. What then is the proper way to to react to anger?
    The first information I will like to provide here is that, misreaction and overreaction to anger is a or leads to sin. Ephesians 4:26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. 
The best guide of the children of God is the word of God. In His words alone can we find perfection. The revelation in this verse of the Bible is that, there is need for you to react to the "percieved" feeling of anger, but in a conscious, intentional and gentle way that will not make you err. Truly, when you don't react to anger or you overreact, the effect stays in you and you can't let go of the pain or grudges. It is essential that we learn how to handle our anger so that, it will not lead us to sin - long term grudges and hostility. 
    However, the first thing to do when provoked to anger is, open your eyes and mind widely to being conscious while angry. Don't allow any provocation to get into your head. Hence,let it come into you where it will encounter caution.
     Know this truth also that, overreaction to anger is a prototype(a picture or sample) of madness. Ecclesiastes 7 vs 9 "Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed, for anger and vexation lodge in the bosom of fools." In a simple way, be slow to react to anger, for, quick and overreaction to anger is an act of a foolish and mad man.
    Anger is an inevitable part of life. People will provoke you, situations will provoke you, but it is quite important for you to know the two basic truths about anger, it is a or can lead you to sin, overreaction to it is an act of being foolish. These two will guide us to be patient and more conscious while been provoked. 
     Lastly, don't react in words, it is dangerous if your first reaction to anger in words, any word uttered in anger is not edifying. Then, don't fight while you are angry.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
