Have you noticed that people seem to be angrier than they have ever been? People are escorted off of airplanes due to incidents, road rage incursions are increasing, and people are protesting something every weekend. Bad things can happen when people allow their emotions to get out of control.

It’s not always wrong to get angry. I believe we should get angry when we witness injustice. If you harm a child then I am coming for you. Even though it’s protected by the First Amendment, it angers me when I see people burning the flag.

People are so stressed out nowadays. It costs way more to go to the grocery store than it did a year ago. The cost of insuring your car has risen 16.5% in one year, too. There seems to be no end in sight. Despair turns to fear and anger.

The best way to turn anger around is by practicing gratitude. Take inventory of all the good in your life. Do this regularly and watch how you change.

Being grateful changes the lens you see the world through…
