Angry release

Obsessive anger. It can consume you to the point of destruction. Anger channeled for positive progress can impact life in an unforgettable way. For example Rosa Parks taking a stand and saying, I refuse to be treated this way, and not moving from her seat when a white man asked her a black woman to move. Rosa became infamous throughout history, respected, and admired. Her rebellion against racism and refusing to be treated as lower because she was black inspired the minds of black women everywhere, they began to fight because they believed in their right to equality.

Anger should not become your obsession when it's used in the opposite way. It's a waste of time, of energy, and ambition. The rage that makes us act in certain ways, it looses it's steam over time, and we wonder, why and how that person got so important in our lives. How they managed to make a nest in our thoughts and live without rent. Use your anger as a weapon in your creative work. To fuel you towards your passion, and to make sure you grow.

Hope as help Not Hindrance

Hope is a funny word. Many of those who speak of hope, have already allowed it to dissipate in their hearts. It's the ghost in the room sometimes, or a sentence we check like it's money for a cash machine . We don't want to appear too hopeful, that might seem naieve. We haven't grown up enough were too idealistic. Yet I argue the same thing I've argued many a time before, men have walked on the moon, built the first computer in their back garden, once upon a time Rosa Parks was told she couldn't sit on a bus because she was black, America now has a black president. Hope is something your allowed to cling unto, because hope, faith and positive change come hand in hand. If you've been knocked a hundred times keep going. Knock backs doesn't mean stopping. It means learning and growing. Take the time you need to learn, reassess and grow. Many people resent themselves and their failed attempts. They believe it's the only way to stop the pain of disappointment, but in life one thing that's guaranteed is you will be disappointed. You will bounce back.
