If you’re irked about something in the world or your community; it could be a great opportunity to see if your anger holds a deeper message for you.
One way to think of anger or frustration related reactions when they relate to the world, your community or your environment is they may be a messenger of what you really feel passionate about. Your anger reaction just might be a call to lend your passion to a meaningful pursuit. Many a life purpose has been found because of an initial emotional reaction.
We feel so that we can know what is.
When you see something that irks you in the the world or in your community and you are personally moved by the pain and suffering you see – begin to think of these stirrings as messageso of the vacuum that is present in the world – the vacuum perhaps ready to be filled – BY YOU. We resonate with the threat to the world or community because – somewhere within us, we have already a sense of a possible solution to the pain we are witnessing.
Emotions such as igdignance, frustration, disgust and sorrow that manifest as being irked may just be some of the biggest gifts to human kind because they stir the passion to possibly make a differrence – they are in practice, highlighting the power within you to possibly make a difference. Some passions do come out of pain.
By recognizing the greatest threats in your world through the landscape of your emotion of frustration – you can empower yourself to make meaningful change. Either by self leadership or by choosing to follow a leader who is providing a solution to that threat.
As examples to this principle, you only have to look at people in your own community – who themselves have experienced a hardship which raises their anger – and they then ignite a cause to solve the initial problem.
Look to where folks get inspired during a world-reaching disaster. Watch how they are compelled to do something.
When you use your own experience of anger as a clue to what you are truly passionate about – you are inspiring, enrolling and completely filled with divine possibilities for providing a solution. At times, it can almost seems as spirit moves through your emotions to point out opportunities to make a real difference in the world.
It doesn’t really matter what your personal call is – we each hear our own. What is important , I believe , is that we live from our passions and to be in service to the world.
What threats do you see? What solution is needed?

Aloha Anne,
Really powerful suggestion. My emotions serve me well.
The secret is to allow them. If you swallow them, they do nothing but rot your guts!
Many blessings,
Carrie
Yes, it’s true – resisting feeling – generally speaking, is underneath of a lot of the dynamics of “problems”. I believe that once folks really embrace that our emotions are our teachers – and they switch to a personal leadership path of craving every morsel of learning possible. they begin to embrace the energy of their emotions more. There is a really big distinction between getting caught up in the grip of an emotion – and just being aware of it and feeling it in response. You’ve pointed out one of the things about “allowing your feelings”. THAT is being in response. Thanks for your share Carrie 🙂
Anne, your piece struck me as being very honest and true. But this is the kind of truth that most people cannot find on their own. We need people like you to show it to us 🙂
Yes Varda – I agree with you, lots of folks could use a little support around subjects such as these. My hope is that folks can get a spark of the possibility first – and hopefully THAT spark of possibilities will fan the flame of desire to learn how to get more aligned with their own passionate true calling.
