During my teenage years, I would easily get angry whenever someone hurt my feelings. Sometimes I got mad at my friends, my siblings, and my parents, especially when they tried to control my decisions in life.
I felt frustrated living under my parents’ rules. I was upset about the curfew—after school, I had to be home before 6 PM, and if I didn’t follow the rule, my allowance for the following week would be deducted.
I was also not allowed to have friends over on school days, and I felt frustrated because I could only watch television for two hours per week.
I wanted to play games like Counter-Strike and Audition, but I wasn’t allowed to use the computer for games—only for typing lessons and studying.
Even during my college years, my mom wanted me to study at a well-known school, but I insisted on enrolling in the nearest college to our home.
I argued with her and refused to accept her decision. I even told her that I wouldn’t go to college anymore.
My dad became very angry with me because I disrespected my mom’s good intentions. I was angry at both of them.
While my dad was driving out of frustration, I suddenly became worried about him because his heart was not stable. I started crying outside while waiting for him to come back home.
When he saw me crying, my dad spoke to me in a calm manner, without questioning my decision.
He told me how much they love me and how they want to see me succeed. It touched my heart. That moment became a turning point for me.
From that day on, I prayed to God: “Please change my heart to be a good daughter to my parents. Give me self-control. Teach me to listen and not rely only on my own understanding. Teach me to show respect in any situation we may encounter.”
In God’s perfect time, I saw changes within myself. I no longer talked back to my parents, and I began to listen to their instructions. Although I still don’t agree with everything, I became closer to them by sharing my decisions without hesitation. I no longer see them as my enemies, but as good parents.
When I feel like I am about to burst with anger, I express what I truly feel and then go straight to my room. I have stopped arguing over petty things. Instead, I reflect on what really happened and evaluate the situation.
I analyze my actions and realize what I should or shouldn’t have done, especially when it is just a small thing to get upset about. After reflecting, if I realize that I made a mistake, I make sure to apologize and talk to the person I hurt.
I choose to forgive and forget. I no longer hold on to hatred. I have stopped wasting my time being angry and instead focus on creating happy moments and living my life with peace and love in this world.
If you have anger issues or easily get angry at everything you encounter, know that your mindset and behavior can change in how you deal with problems.
Getting angry will not solve anything, but having a heart that sees the beauty in everything you do will lead to good outcomes. Don’t be afraid to change just because you think it will make you less as a person.
I got this quotes from WordPress.com
Anger doesn’t solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.
Before getting angry think what you gonna say or do. It can be too late if you kill someone out of anger.
