In my most difficult times, when I have zero motivation, all I need to do is remember all the "bad experiences" from the past and just thinking about these things gets me angry and I get back to work. Since these negative emotions interfere with your happiness, I sappose they should be used sparingly, again like fire, if you let them go they will destroy you, that's why I don't think about them unless I have to, but if I were to forget about them or give them some positive meaning, it would be no where near as powerful. |
No emotion per se is negative; what you do with it, however, is another matter.
Just a note - healing anger actually makes you more powerful, not less. Would I be correct in saying that if people push the right buttons in you, that you can become extremely angry very quickly? If so thats not powerful, that makes you a slave and easily manipulated.
But having said that I really admire that you've been able to turn your negative experiences into achievement, thats good going.
