Get Mad and Get Busy to have a Peaceful Life

Personally I am sick and tired of everyone just saying that to have a peaceful life we just need to forgive all that is bugging us.  This blog will eventually get to the 'peace and love part' but the path there may not be an easy one if we have been stuffing a whole bunch of garbage during our life.

I tried just forgiving and forgetting.  Did not work on some portions of my life.  What happened is that I sunk even deeper into depression adding the fact that I could not do this.  It is what all the books say and generally life is fairly Zen for me but there is a time to get mad and get busy.   It is a trap to fall into believing that anger does not have its place in our lives.  If anger did not have an emotional place then we would not have it, it would have evolved right on out just like gills (according to Darwin).

I tried meditation and for the time I spent in a deep meditational state, all was right with my world but eventually I had to go to the bathroom.  So this did not work on some portions of my life.  Staying in this state did not allow responsibilities to be fulfilled. 

I tried praying... Forgive me as I forgive others?  Well this was not working!  It was now eroding my relationship with the Divine.  

There are very few things that I did not try.  Being too depressed to even figure out what I was depressed about, what should a person do?

GET MAD

 It makes no difference at all what we get mad at (as was recently personally discovered).  What is important is unstopping that cork that is keeping us stuck. 

After getting mad, GET BUSY.  Once the situation that helped unstop that bottled up anger is released take care of whatever issue caused this.  Completely obliterate the problem that caused that anger then do not stop there.  About to lose your car? House?  Take 3 part time jobs if that is what it takes but obliterate that problem.  No clean clothes to wear?  Put them in the bathtub to wash them if you have to but obliterate that problem.... get MAD.  Another person created the problem?  Oh don't even waste your time on him/her because anything you do can be used against you (keep reading).  

KEEP GOING.  Now that the bottle is uncorked find the next issue that has been buried and go to war with that one.  This is completely about you.  Yes it has nothing really to do with whatever or who ever created this in the first place.  Everyone else is going to go on with their lives, we are the one stuck.  An Ex piss you off?  Well, if he/she is no longer in our lives then there is nothing to save.  Get Busy.  Go to the gym, buy yourself some new clothing, get a hair cut, do your nails, play with your make up, learn to strut that new body and then hope your ex sees you when it is done.  Yes, just hope.  Don't even waste your time hunting him/her down to show them because believe me what comes around goes around.  Why stop there?  Write a book about your experience and make some money off of it.  Go back to school to receive your doctorate and be certain to send the invitations to the graduation party to all of your mutual friends.  Oh, there are many things that we have within our power to do which will gain the ultimate revenge which is the ex asking, why did I ever let that one go?  What was I thinking?  

This takes time but we all know that revenge is a dish best served cold.  By the time you are ready to be seen by the others who inspired the depression to begin with there is a good probability it will no longer be important.  

Now is when we can smile and feel that Love for ourselves shine onto the world surrounding us.  

Believe it or not I am grateful that this happened because now that vulnerability has been closed within myself.  Without the lesson the truth within would never have been found.
