Neither Let Anger Nor Fear Control You!
Daily Quote:
“Let us not go back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.” James Thurber
Meaning of the Quote:
Neither make anger your past nor fear your present! Instead, step into awareness and make it your daily companion.
Discussion of the Quote:
When you look back at your past, do not do so with anger. Anger can only hurt you and do nothing to change your past. Your past is gone so let it go! Learn from it and cherish it because it was your passage that got you to where you are now.
More importantly, do not clothe yourself with fear when looking forward to the future. It does nothing good for you but rob you of all your glory and power to step into your greatness.
Furthermore, let awareness be your daily guide so that you can be ready, willing and able to receive all that is coming to you. You can not live in oblivion when it comes to your life. Instead, you have to be present in your own life.
Final Thoughts:
Anger strangles you and takes away your power to do what you must for yourself in life. Anger is a menace to your existence, especially anger of the bad kind. It stifles all the good things in your life. You can become so consumed by it that you can not do anything of significance for yourself or others. You can not operate well in an environment filled with anger. So when you look back at your past, do so but not with anger anymore.
Additionally, do not be consumed with fear when you look forward to your future. It is false evidence appearing real. You can live with fear or in fear. Instead, now and always, live with awareness. To experience life fully, you have to be fully aware!

Thank you very much! I am doing okay. Life goes on and we have to go with it or get left behind!
So so true Nichola. They both stop your brain from working properly. We make stupid rash decisions or we don't take the chance it would take to make us great.
Thank you, as always, for your pertinent and enlightening post. Happy New Year :) xx Anne

I often think back to my past, not so much with anger, my analysis is mostly along the lines, of "that was stupid, that was ok."
Unfortunately the stupid (regretful), column is way longer than the ok column.
But I generally take my days as a new start, and hope it is better than the previous day.

WOW Nichola, this was a very inspiring message! It is remarkable as to see how anger and fear can change a person’s direction.
Being aware ultimately allows better control during trying times. Everyone fights this battle on some level and at some point in their lives.
Be vigilant,
