		<description>Hi There, saw your comment over at Tam&#039;s and came over to see what&#039;s what.

Anger is a topic i am not unfamiliar with (i find it is closely related to frustration with something in my life).
Along the lines of Happy week however if we focus on &#039;trying&#039; to prevent our anger what we are actually focussing on is our anger - sort of like if we try applying some medication to a wound to reduce the pain - all we end up doing is feeling the pain more because we are focussing on it.

Some medication is of course needed on some open woulds and pain is a necessary feeling of our bodies - it serves a useful function - but not when it overrides our ability to not feel pain and perform effectively.

So two ways to &#039;attack&#039; Anger:
1. focus on those aspects of our life that leads us away from our anger and frustration.

2. focus more on understanding the real cause of it within us - it is not always &#039;someone/something &#039;else&#039; - it is most likely a frustration we feel in our lives due to some circumstances we feel compelled to live &#039;in&#039;.

Work out ways to no longer be &#039;trapped&#039; in them or ways to surrender our frustration and personal will to our Higher will - His Will. Like accepting our suffering because He requires it of us until we learn what is being taught to our spirit.

There are far more &#039;important&#039; things to work out than those of this earthly life - even though things down here are loosely based upon the things that are &#039;above&#039;.

any of that make sense? :-)
