I Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving -

I have gratitude for EVERYTHING

that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.

I give thanks for the joys and the sufferings,

the moments of peace and the flashes of anger,

the compassion and the indifference,

the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear.

I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

we have only friendships that we haven't yet developed

emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Repressed anger still is anger, it just isn't expressed.

If you truly have no anger, you are blessed and joyful.

you just haven't expressed that anger.

Go ahead, express your anger briefly,

pound pillows, scream, curse.

Then take a deep breath, and get over it.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Forgive those who have injured you -

not because they deserve your forgiveness,

Why live?

Adding one to my count of days, or postponing

a feared death by another day do not inspire me.

I live to experience something new each day -

to learn something new, meet a new friend,

bring joy into someone's life,

feel the wind newly on my skin,

touch a new fear, a new anger,

and with focused intent and good fortune,

find an ample measure of my own joy.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I am a Mirror for Love and Light,

but never for Anger or Fear.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I am the master of my emotions -

I transform fear to love, anger to compassion,

pain to comfort, scarcity to abundance,

expectation to gratitude, and jealousy to generosity.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Anger is a destructive emotion

that becomes instinctive over the years.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

During his training, a baseball player strives

to make each swing better than the last.

The repetition of a faulty swing would be worse than useless.

It would ingrain bad habits.

The same is true of emotional responses.

If we allow ourselves to continue to have the same angry responses,

we just entrench our anger habit.

But if we strive - through consciousness, visualization, and coaching -

to moderate our anger response,

over time, we can train ourselves to respond

to events as we choose - without anger.

You can't magically be free from anger tomorrow,

but you can put yourself on your own training program

that will reduce the frequency and intensity

of your anger response day by day, year by year.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Cry for the souls of the angry,

for they sleep the troubled sleep of the damned.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Today is a day to cover your best weapons in velvet.

Go gently into the world.

Hold your anger.

Keep your competitive spirit in check.

Some day you will need your fierce weapons,

but not today.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When one gets angry, it is always angry AT someone -

perhaps a friend or spouse, perhaps a stranger,

perhaps the nameless "they" - "those people at the bank wronged me,"

perhaps God, or perhaps oneself.

In any case, when one gets angry,

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

There is a secret wisdom-of-the-ages

that holds the key to breaking our

cycle of self-imposed suffering.

The secret wisdom is, "Life is not supposed to be fair."

This is not sad news. This is GLORIOUS news!

Life is not broken. Nothing is wrong.

God has not failed, died, or gone on vacation.

The world is working perfectly. We just misunderstood.

Somewhere along the way, someone got the idea that

life was "supposed" to be "fair,"

and all the trouble started -

expectation, disappointment, resentment, anger -

a whole cycle of suffering that began

with the belief that life is "supposed" to be "fair."

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The River of Life has no meaning, no good, no bad,

no better, no worse, no love, no hate, no fear, no anger, no joy.

The River of Life has no judgment, no expectation.

The River of Life just IS. There is nothing to do.

There is nothing to say.

There is nothing to think.

There is nothing to feel.

The River just flows. The River is the source of all nourishment -

the source of all obstacles.

The River is the source of all life - the source of all death.

The River is the source of all joy - and the source of all sorrow.

Yet the River has no joy - and the River has no sorrow.

The River is just the River.

One can flow harmoniously with the River -

or one can struggle fearfully against the River -

and the River just flows.

One can accept the River - or one can deny the River -

and the River just flows.

One can worship the River of Life - or one can curse the River of Life -

and the River just flows. There is nothing to do - and the River flows.

There is nothing to say - and the River flows.

There is nothing to think - and the River flows.

There is nothing to feel - and the River flows.

The River flows - and all else is our drama.

The River flows - and all else is our invention.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Pray for the angry,

but express your prayers and intentions silently.

Saying openly to an angry person,

"I pray for you to receive inner-peace."

is almost certain to provoke an even angrier reaction.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I forgive everyone for every "wrong"

that I believe they have ever inflicted upon me.

I forgive them for my own sake,

that I may release the venom -

the anger and resentment within myself -

and regain my joy and serenity.

I have compassion for everyone who has ever

been a player upon the stage of my life.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I live to experience something new each day -

to learn something new,

meet a new friend,

bring joy into someone's life,

feel the wind newly on my skin,

touch a new fear, a new anger,

and with focused intent and good fortune,

find an ample measure of my own joy.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Anger is something that each one of us has experienced -

some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.

Can we eliminate all anger? Probably not.

We will always have expectations,

and those expectations will often be unmet.

Disappointment is the principle cause of anger.

When we are disappointed, we look for someone to blame.

Declaring someone to be at fault is the nature of anger.

Anger is always directed at someone -

possibly toward God or the non-specific "they,"

but at some animate entity.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I am the Wizard. This world is mine.

I speak. It's done. My realm is fine.

My wand, my tongue. My sword, my voice.

It's good. It's bad. I speak my choice.

I say happy, or I say mad.

I say angry, or I say glad.

I name that drawing on the wall.

It's not graffiti after all.

The past has been broken. The prison's not real.

My word holds the magic - the power to heal.

Intent is my weapon - a sword from above.

Cruel hate, fear, and anger transmute into love.

This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.

Reborn -I'm a brand new girl or boy.

I choose. I speak. My will is done.

Come join. Come play. This can be fun.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,

and that some people were just born with the temperament

to get angrier faster than others.

That statement is only half right.

Anger is an instinctive response.

We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -

much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.

But the instinct of the anger response

can be trained through conscious repetition,

visualization, and coaching.

Visualization is seeing the event

we desire to master in our mind's eye.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

On this day, as on every day,

we Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving.

We have gratitude for EVERYTHING

that has ever occurred to bring us to this moment.

We give thanks for the joys and the sufferings,

the moments of peace and the flashes of anger,

the compassion and the indifference,

the roar of our courage

and the cold sweat of our fear.

We accept gratefully the entirety

of our past and our present life.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Life is magnificent - just as it comes.

Life has no need for fancy clothes, or lipstick.

Life is no pig.

Our life is the greatest gift of all creation.

When we are unhappy with life -

when we are shocked by the stock market,

or dismayed by our choice of political candidates,

let us not lash out in anger.

But also, let us not try to pretty up life

with some lipstick and some party clothes.

See life clearly - no rose colored glasses -

and then CHOOSE to love life.

CHOOSE to be happy, be joyful, be grateful,

be forgiving of everyone and of every act

we believe has hurt us.

Life just "IS."

We get to CHOOSE our relationship with life.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Anger and Danger are intimately intertwined.

An angry person is a dangerous person,

whether that person crosses our path

or whether the angry person is ourself.

To complete the anger/danger cycle,

whenever we feel threatened -

when we believe we are in danger -

we tend to exhibit anger as well as fear.

We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,

and direct our anger toward them.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

A newborn does not have worry, or stress, or anger,

because they have not yet learned those things.

Consider what life would be like if you could

forget all the past resentments and perceived offenses

that color your thinking and your emotions.

Buddhists call that state "beginner mind" -

an opening to experience life

without the jaundiced filter of past disappointments.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

It is much more painful to have lost

something you thought you had,

than never to have had it at all.

If feels as if our trust was dashed.

We are disappointed and we are angry;

but not quite sure at who to direct our anger.

Someone, perhaps "the system," perhaps God,

should have done better.

Most of all we are angry at ourselves -

even though we did our best -

and we are afraid.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

You can get angry.

You can complain about life not being "fair."

You can attempt revenge - perhaps violently.

You can inflict great suffering upon yourself

in the name of life being "unfair."

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Working at a job you hate is unlikely

to bring you either happiness or success.

Do what you love. You are far more likely to gain success -

recognition and financial reward - if you are working

at something that inspires and excites you.

And, whether wealth follows or not, you will be happy.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

of happy people and unhappy people

through two different, but complementary mechanisms,

influence and affinity.

At the same time, I feel an affinity

for others who are like me in some way -

in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.
