Life Lessons Learned in your 20's: "Imposed Anger"

Hello Readers!!!

Welcome to my new series on Life, Faith &Love titled Life Lessons Learned in my 20's. Every Saturday, I will be posting a new blog of a story sent to me by one of YOU. I have loved reading all of your stories so far and I am so excited to share some of these lessons with you guys. This week life lesson stems from a friend of mine name Ebi! One main lesson she has learned so far in her 20's is something she calls "Imposed Anger." Read below for Ebi's story:

"2 things I've learnt so far, appreciate the big picture and beware of imposed anger: 

I got into a accident recently, and had my car totaled. That, in itself is an inconvenience, but looking at the big picture, I wasn't hurt in the accident, I'm blessed with friends and family willing to give me their car and/or rides. I've actually enjoyed the time I spent riding with friends, and... my insurance is taking care of everything, so I don't have to spend a dime! 

Moral of the story, always take a step back, and look at the big picture. Another example, in 2010, I was a 10th grader. By 2020, I became an engineer, working a job I enjoy and living a life I could only have dreamed of in 2010... 

If you find yourself feeling angry, ask yourself, why exactly am I angry? I've recognized what I call imposed anger. What I mean is, being angry because someone else is expecting you to be angry. So, I ask myself... why exactly am I mad? Is it because the situation really annoys me, or is it because someone else expects me to be angry?" 

Ebi lesson is a powerful one. The main thing I got out of it, is if you find yourself in an unwanted predicament, take a moment to look at the big picture. Anger does not always need to be the immediate response. Focus on the good, not the bad, and trust the process.
