Have you ever come on too strong? Ever swarmed someone with attention only to send them running in the opposite direction? Ever taken massive action, poured your heart and soul into an endeavor, only to not get the results you were expecting? Ever been so obsessed with wanting something so badly, wanting it now, that you’ve even become angry or impatient, frustrated or resentful that you didn’t have it?
Have you ever been triggered by something? Ever just snapped and taken your anger or frustration out on something only to realize later that you were actually upset about something else entirely?
Have you ever done something rash? Something out of impatience and anger?
What are the angry feelings of impatience, frustration, and resentment that worm their way into and eat away at our hearts and leading us to do rash things?Why do we get caught up in rash behavior that can endanger ourselves and others and threaten the very outcome and objective we want in our lives?
This kind of anger often points to one of three things:
o A wounded heart – a cut up heart that needs to be healed
o A divided heart – competing priorities where we feel pulled in multiple directions
o A conflicted heart – mismatched vision and beliefs, where we want something but don’t have the beliefs to support getting it.
With personal stories from the host and inspiring quotes from J.K. Rowling, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Stephen R. Covey, and many more this episode examines the underlying sources of this self-sabotaging form of anger and provides tools for reducing the internal conflict.
