No one ever wants to admit that they have the red thread of anger running through their story.
It’s a confession that comes with a crimson shade of embarrassment, guilt, confusion, and frustration.
That red thread is like the one embedded on a package, designed to release the contents with one pull — except for those of us battling anger, we pray that thread won’t ever be snagged. If only we could prevent the external pressures and triggers, whether it’s a spilled glass of milk, an interruption in the schedule, or a combative loved one.
We can’t control the outside, but we can certainly tend to the inside.
Isn’t it amazing how external factors can irritate our inner most parts of our hearts and minds causing an uncontainable and totally regrettable eruption of emotions.
But there’s hope to change that eruption.
