Getting Beyond Irrational Passion That Is Not In Your Control

By Joshua Clayton

Productive action speaks louder than passionate words. I figured that the title would be an interesting one, and the subject a useful one. Anger management, and productively controlling your passion so that you can genuinely achieve what you want in existence and life. To create your life how you want it, you cannot be ruled by fear and passion, you must think and use intuition correctly, in the order of thinking first and then action on what you get from intuition from that thinking. Sure, passion and feeling has its place, but it cannot be primary if you genuinely want to achieve and control situations genuinely.

The most powerful and positive thing you can do in your life is to be disciplined in all things even if you have to force it sometimes, you will thank yourself after the fact of the actions taken if you have disciplined yourself. Sure, discipline may not seem to be in line with intuition, but it is, you can weed through intuitive thoughts with discipline to take the best action from among those thoughts. Intuition without discipline is really gambling when it comes down to it. Intuition with discipline is productive investment really, because you know what you are doing when you take the time and patience to know what you are doing and why you are doing it.

Acting hastily without discipline is never managing your anger or passion well though, because you are taking action without knowing why you are doing it, and you are gambling at a very deep level. Face it, gambling is foolish when it comes to any decisions, important or not important, because you do not know what you are doing and you are taking a hasty and impulsive chance most of the time.

Why do I say "most of the time"? I say that because sometimes out of fear of irrational and horrible loss you unconsciously connect with discipline and careful decision, but most of the time you gamble and "hope for the best". I know, reality is a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but for the genuinely best results ultimately, we all must swallow it, including myself. Everyone must live in and by reality, that is the bottom line here.

So, the point of this article is quite simple when it comes down to the reality of all things in life: To succeed we must discipline ourselves, and never act on fear or irrational passion without thought, and through that rational objective patience and discipline we improve our lives. Life is as good as we make it, and through our own control mechanisms productively used, it is the best. That is also the bottom line. Uncontrolled passion leads to failure, productively controlled thought and action leads to success. We are what we choose to be.
