Living Without Your Anger


]
Up until several years ago, I was a champion 'angry person', in that just about everything in my life made me angry. If someone was unkind, or thoughtless, or selfish, or anything I didn't like, I got angry. And not just upset, but all-out, smoke rolling out of my ears, ANGRY!

But the principles that I was learning led me to realize that every time I got angry, whether I expressed it or not, I was directing Spiritual Power to create future experiences that would mimic or resonate with that anger. I knew that I had a problem to deal with.

I understand where the philosophy of 'living with your anger' comes from, as well as the philosophy of express it to get rid of it. But at least in my case, everything I expressed got easier to express, and it just grew and grew. I had to eliminate it completely.

And here's the major thing that helped with that. Anger is the feeling that things, situations, and people should be something they are not. Anger is judgment. If you take away the judgment, you eliminate the source of the anger. Actually, this is one lesson learned from the Buddhists. If you can eliminate your 'attachment' to the world and conditions, you can reach 'enlightenment'.

I don't get angry anymore. Frustrated sometimes, but I remind myself that the world is as it is, and I won't help anything by getting angry, upset, or frustrated.

The transformation in me was like the transformation of a lifelong smoker who got scared out of the habit (yes, anger is a habit) by the reality of the disease (cancer in the case of the smoker). There's a simple truth; your actions (and thoughts and feelings) today will create your reality tomorrow.

The transformation wasn't easy, but it did happen. I had to constantly remind myself that everything I thought and felt was directing Power to create my future. I had to ask myself for every little thing (whether anger was involved or not - to develop the habit) "What kind of future do you want to create?"

Eventually, the anger habit was broken, and a new habit took its place. Another thing that really helped with this was long periods of focusing on the opposite of anger, happiness. Every day for about 6-8 weeks, I sat down to 2 or 3 sessions of 30-60 minutes each and did nothing but focus on love, happiness, harmony, and such. I knew that I had to get used to something other than anger, so I trained my mind and emotions to express something else. Guess what, it worked.

But what was even better, was that it did a lot more for me than simply giving me control over my anger. All of that time focusing on love, happiness, and harmony had directed Power to create some wonderful experiences in my life.

For the first time ever, everything around me seemed to go right. Every person I talked to seemed like they enjoyed my company and wanted to help me in the issues I was dealing with at the time. I had created so much 'good luck' in the process of focusing on happiness and love that I started wondering what was wrong.

And guess what that did? Yep, things started to go wrong again. But I quickly realized what was happening and started keeping my focus on what was right, and what I wanted to be right. I know now, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that my thoughts and feelings control my reality. And that any habit, even anger, can be conquered.

Now, every morning after I get out of bed, I spend about 20 minutes centering myself and finding the joy and happiness within. People tell me that I have incredible patience. My response is usually, "What good would it do for me to get upset?"

Five Fabulous Ways To Monetize Your Blog

You’ve heard about the blog and ping strategy to drive traffic to your main website, right? It is for this reason that blogs have taken a level of prominence in the online marketing world as powerful tools – nay – weapons that can help any internet marketer succeed in this industry.

Blogs, by their very nature, are the easiest, most accessible content management systems in the World Wide Web. And because they are easy to update, search engine spiders love them! Just run a search of any topic in any search engine and you’ll be greeted by blogs occupying the prime spots in the results pages.

Blogs also have a connectivity feature that is unparalleled in cyberspace. Other blog owners will link to you, even if you never invited them. Also, submit your blog to a blog directory and more people will link to your blog as well.

Blog entries can also be converted into RSS feeds automatically. This means the content syndication is made easier if you’re using your blog to launch your content.

But blogs are not just an internet marketer’s weapon to make his business prosper.

Blogs can also be monetized. They can become an income stream on their own, and an affective one at that. Given the traffic and the page rank that blogs command, it will be easy to imagine the earning potentials of these wonderful creations once they are optimized well for monetization purposes.

Here are 5 fabulous ways by which you can DIRECTLY earn from your blog.

1. Use your blog in lieu of your sales page. You can actually pre-sell, or even directly sell, your products through the entries in your blog. This can be in the form of an announcement, or even a positive review or a strong recommendation. Since people are expected to flock on your blog, might as well create a channel by which you can instantly convert those visitors into paying customers.

2. Don’t have your own products to sell? No problem. Sign up with any affiliate program over at www.clickbank.com , www.cj.com, www.linkshare.com or www.paydotcom.com and you will be given an appropriate affiliate link. You can promote this affiliate link through your blog entries and you can earn some generous commission for every sale you will manage to refer. Best of all, you can join as many affiliate programs as you’d like. You’re not limited to just one program. Each affiliate program you will join will provide an income stream for your web log.

3. Integrate a PPC program to your blog. Enroll with AdSense or any other ad hosting
