Anger although perceived as a negative emotion, is one of our core feelings, and just as important to an individual as happiness, and sadness. Anger shapes who we are. Anger is a powerful emotion that hasn’t just shaped us as individuals, but society as we know it. Do you embrace your anger, and use it as a motivational aid? I do.

People rarely take the time for others, and therefore never allow themselves to truly learn what someones about. I’m a very proud Yugoslav Serb. I’m very proud of who i am, but its the anger i have inside that really makes me shine. I refuse to back down, i refuse to give up in whatever i set out to do. I’m a man who embraces his anger, the accumulated anger from years of pain, and use it to motivate myself in the way i lead my life and the choices i make. To me my anger is a positive thing, even if sometimes it comes from within and rears its ugly head, the moments i lose control. My anger reminds me who i am, and what I’m capable of. It keeps me sharp, it makes me feel empowered. My anger inside, is still a shield, a shield i use to protect myself from pain, and my self criticism. Its a part of me that refuses to give in. I’m no longer afraid to come to terms with my feelings. I’m an emotional man, fuck it, I’m not ashamed of being in tune to my feelings. I’m a stronger man because of it, and i can thank my emotions for allowing me the force to come within myself and be true to myself. Anger and fear are huge influences in my life. There’s not many things i fear, but there’s things, ordinary things that make me feel very uneasy. My anger balances out my panic attacks, it keeps me calm and collected. I face my fears head on, i tell my inner demons that I’m in charge, that I’m my supreme leader. I’m my own walking god. My anger is my shield, my pride is my backbone, my self esteem is my white stallion.

Anger drives me, and thus emotion drives me. Being in control of our emotions is vital to our ability to survive in today’s world. I use my anger constructively. Anger drives me. Do you harness your feelings as an motivational force?

    I absolutely love this! It so describes me as a person and I will now on embrace this anger that I have inside me. Just today, I felt disrespected by an employee at the post office. He decided that he was going to be lazy and not help me with my needs when I spend a lot of money there. I felt his customer service was terrible and that he was dumb and I told him this.

    You’re right, people will try to step on and take advantage of you if you let them, but I’ve always been one lady who will tell you exactly what I think and have no problems suffering the consequences of those actions.

    At the same time, I will always give those I know and don’t know the respect their due…until I’m fucked with and then it goes down.

    Thank you for putting these great words together so well that I can truly understand and relate.
