EMOTION: Anger

WARNING: Your God-given desire for control is on fire.

When you really stop and think about it, most of our anger finds its roots in our desire to somehow control the people and the environment around us. In other words, we want things to go the way we want them to go. If you don’t believe me, consider this: Why do so many of us get so angry watching our favorite football team lose? Because we wanted them to win! We didn’t want them to throw an interception in the end zone in the closing seconds of the game, when a touchdown would have sealed the victory. That’s not what we wanted. So our team loses . . . and we lose it!

Every time you and I get angry, it’s because something happened to us that we didn’t want to happen. Am I right? And the thinking behind that anger goes like this: I deserve better! I deserve a computer that works right. I deserve clear traffic when I’m on the road. I deserve my favorite team’s wide receiver to catch the ball in the end zone. I deserve a winning team.

Mark it down—when anger strikes, the smoke alarm blares out, “I deserve better than this!”
