New Post on The Official Blog of The Way Out Podcast! Today's Gift - 1/25/2018

Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is: Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. --Albert Einstein Anger can be a healthy emotion, provided we don't wallow in it or attack other people. When we express anger honestly and without reservation, we can prevent walls of resentment from building up and blocking us off from the intimacy that we strive for in our relationships. When we allow anger to fester in our heart, we surrender our peace of mind and lose our sense of purpose and self-worth. When we harbor anger rather than openly and respectfully expressing it, we no longer hear our inner spirit. Thus we are cut off from our innate wisdom to guide us in our actions. We're often drawn to people who express their feelings honestly. This style of communicating serves as an invitation to build a relationship with them based on trust. From this trust we learn to open ourselves to God's love for us as we are. Today I will feel my anger, express it when necessary, and then let it go so that I can deepen my trust of other people and of God.
