"My problem is not powerlessness, but too much power over my emotions," I said. Then I learned that controlled emotions control me. "Of all emotions, I relate to anger least, " I said. Then I learned that my large choices in life, no less than my idlest snap judgments of people, were ruled by unadmitted angers and fears. "How inappropriate theirs angers are," I said of my near ones. But my own poor strategies of living had gone to produce the emotional climate I complain against. I learned detachment and forgiveness.
May my love for others continue to grow as I learn to acknowledge my true feelings and to accept the consequences of my feelings in the real world.
I will listen to my feelings and direct them toward recovery.
