I chalked this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. His point is that a minute of anger does not cost you a minute.
It usually costs the entire morning. It can cost a relationship, a night’s sleep, or simply the chance to enjoy something that is right there in front of you.
Every one of us has a list of people, events, disappointments, and struggles that could keep us angry all the way to the two-minute warning of life.
The problem with anger is it charges you interest. It steals the moment, it steals laughter, and it steals an ordinary Tuesday afternoon that we will never get back.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean the other person was right. It means you are no longer willing to let them control your happiness.
Life is too short and summer is too beautiful to stay pissed off.
Get out and enjoy the sun while it shines, and appreciate the clouds that arrived without an invitation.
Angry people have a hard time finding the gusto and astonishment that life brings. You Chalkheads on the other hand, sure as hell can find it.
It is Two for Tuesday…
…. Please don’t let it be the Eagles or Boston.
Deus Vult.
