October 15

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

Someone said at a meeting that anger comes from other people not meeting my expectations. If that is true - and I see it is true for me - then I have two choices: I can either stay angry, or I can lower my expectations. If I choose to stay angry, the only person I hurt is myself. My blood pressure goes up, I get acid indigestion, headaches, and become depressed. Or I can choose to lower my expectations. That is another way of letting go of what I cannot control, of not playing God by thinking that my way is the only right way.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

I ask You to help me deal with my anger honestly.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Unrealistic expectations for myself or others creates anger.
