"Hurtful words come from a hurt heart. Replace these words with a powerful affirmation: I am loved and I am mindful." ~ Vicki Savini
We are born with just two emotional driving forces: love (our Higher Self/spirit) and fear (the Ego) - all other emotions stem from these two places. When we react in anger, (or even gossip about someone), we are unknowingly coming from a conditioned place of fear that blurs our judgement. This is most likely triggered from victimisation, negative childhood experience(s), stories we told ourselves when we felt powerless, emotional needs weren't met or we felt 'out of control.'
It can be tricky, or nigh on impossible when you are in the throes of anger to take a few steps back, take some deep breaths and respond rather than react, but anger doesn't allow space for peace, nor heals a human heart.
It is important to speak your truth, but, you need to go within first and be sure it’s your truth that’s coming out and not your fears from a 'wounded' inner self. When you speak it is always better to come from a powerful, rather than a powerless state. The lesson continues...
Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
