Feel like your life is stuck in a rut and going in circles?  Maybe it’s time to put some powerful e-motion to work.
Emotion is actually one of the most powerful energies we humans have.  It IS literally mental energy in motion.  And certain emotions are so powerful they can instantly change your life.

What human emotions have such power?  Anger and love – especially when fueled by the fire of passion (intense e-motion). 

Not much needs to be said about the ability of passionate love to change your life overnight.  But how about passionate anger?   Although passionate anger can be very powerful, its energy isn't bad or good.  It is simply energy in motion.  
 
Actually it is what you choose to do with your anger that makes it a positive or negative force in your life.  And as with any powerful e-motion, you can put it to work in both negative and positive ways.

If you have ever been captured by an uncontrollable rage, you have experienced a piece of the “outer limits” of what anger can become.  On one level it is behind crimes of passion – and on the other hand the ability to strike back at a threat and survive.  But anger can also be a powerful force for personal transformation.

Here’s a real life story about the power of anger.  A man in his late twenties woke up in the dismal surroundings he called home – a very cheap hotel room with a sagging mattress, a flea-bitten armchair, a small table with a habit of losing a leg, and a single window opening onto a view of the next soot-covered building.

He pulled on the shorts and socks that had dried on the chair overnight, pulled on a pair of too well worn pants, and sank down on the edge of the mattress.  He rubbed his swollen, bloodshot eyes and sighed. 

Life was not going well for this young man.  He was educated and young – but get his life was simply not moving in a positive direction.  He bent over to put on his shoes, but instead threw one at the wall.  His anger and frustration began to build, and he threw the other shoe at the wall. 

His face blazed crimson.  The frustration and self-loathing that had been building within suddenly erupted like a volcano.  “This is enough,” he shouted.  “Enough. I’ve had it with this disgusting behavior.”  

Today this same young man owns a multitude of successful businesses, and is highly regarded my millions of people.  His name?  Tony Robbins.  Tony is an example of how you can use passionate anger to literally turn your life around on a dime. 

You too have choices about how to use the energy of anger.

Remember: Anger is just an emotion.  But passionate anger can become a highly motivational and unstoppable energy in motion.  Put it to work in your life as a positive force.
