Living Life in Anger

I have lived my life in anger. And I hate it. They say that your behavior is learned at a young age and at this point in my life I have to agree. My mother was always angry, manipulative and just plain nasty - to me. I have many (over 10) brothers and sisters and I literally was singled out - honest. The taunting was horrible that it still scars me today.

I lost my business today, mainly because of the economy, but also due to the way I treated the staff. I was so emotional in alot of my decisions, which didn't help at all. My employees couldn't wait to vacate the area and none - not one - said good bye or thanks for the last seven years. Nada. That was a rude awakening. And sad.

But what do I do with the yet again 'rude awakening', have I learned my lesson? I fought cancer and won and during treatment I was the most positive person ever. What happened to that person? Where did she go?

Why can't I be that way today, tommorrow, the next day and the day after. Why is it that I let my emotions speak for me and learn to take a breath before diving into my anger.

Anger, it hasn't gotten me anywhere. Just not very well liked.
