“Here’s a question every angry man and woman needs to consider: How long are you going to allow people you don’t even like — people who are no longer in your life, maybe even people who aren’t even alive anymore — to control your life? How long?”– Andy Stanley

Interesting quote by Andy Stanley. For me, not so much today as it was in “yesterday years”.  I took a course on A WayOut that has helped me with this issue.  I have had to put up boundaries, but sometimes, I have to admit, the ugly rises it’s head.  I am a sensitive individual and truly dislike confrontation in any way.  However, stuffing your feelings is very harmful to your health as well as your joy, happiness, and being.  I am a follower of Jesus and have leaned on the teaching of the Bible for guidance and directions through my life. I will end this thought with “people are people and if you allow them to control you with their opinion , etc, and if they get angry if you do not agree with them then you are stuffing your anger.”  For me, I  seek the guidance of Jesus through journalizing the anger I feel and prayer.  Be the person God created; make amends if you are wrong, and don’t be controlled by anger of any kind.
