The Size of Your Anger

The more evenly the land lies, the easier it is for you to walk across it. As gently rolling hills appear, you have to apply more exertion, and when it's time to cross the foot hills, you notice how much harder it becomes. But it is when mountains loom that you require maximum effort.

But what if you could make the whole way even? As in grading the land. No need to climb. No need to spend such physical power and in the process become so tired in order to cross the peaks. Geoff Greenleaf wrote: A man is measured by the size of things that anger him, and what I am suggesting here in today's brief post, is that you become aware of the size of things that have the power to anger you, and that you begin to reflect on how much easier your life might be if you took the conscious decision to not be held in that power. In other words, that you decide whether you get angry, rather than allowing the moment, the word, the deed, etc. to anger you.

If this concept is new to you, have a look at these articles on my website:

For much more about making healthy choices, having a conscious relationship with yourself and living consciously, about being aware of your thoughts and feelings, and about how you react to others, have a look at my book Rewiring the Soul: Finding the Possible Self, available at Amazon.

Reviews From Amazon:

"The Soul doesn't get sick but it does need nourishment; if not it seems as if our life starves to death. This wonderful book by Dr. Gabriella Kortsch is definitely healthy "Soul food". It becomes clear that as the personality endeavors to "rewire" the Soul, it is its own energy or conscious awareness that is elevated to that higher level where the invisible becomes visible and experienced as peace, joy, love and freedom. A treat to enjoy and celebrate."
ERIC ROLF; author, Soul Medicine: The Heart of Healing

"Rewiring the Soul is a thoughtful guide to the peace and joy that self-government through inner awareness brings. In the words of author Gabriella Kortsch, anyone's ideal 'possible human' becomes their actual reality by following the simple inner steps in this remarkable book."
JIM WAWRO; author, Ask Your Inner Voice

"This book is a gift to humanity, a valuable tool in aiding seekers to accomplish mastery of their own lives. Gabriella Kortsch provides clear steps to help people find peace in a practical and powerful way. She does not ask you to give up anything other then what no longer serves you. Brilliantly written!"
HILLARY RAIMO; Author & Radio Host

"I thought I could pick just one chapter to write a review, but I couldn't .... I was glued to the chair as I read Rewiring the Soul ... a literary, in-depth masterpiece to the human psyche, behavior and ultimate transformation. Exquisitely written, beautifully executed."
