Go away anger, you are not welcome here.

Life is finite. I don’t have time for anger, but sometimes I will sit in its viscosity just long enough to flirt with its power. Then, I will banish it. I will banish it with a swift blow that knocks the wind right out of its gut. I will banish it with the power of choice.

I choose to not let it take me. I choose to focus on what can be. I choose to banish that which immobilizes me. I choose joy and possibility.

Go away anger, you are not welcome here.

In this world today we are constantly reminded to “be present” and to “live in the moment”, for life sails by too fast. But sometimes it is exactly this moment which we must not let linger for too long or its power will ensnare, keeping us frozen in time. So move forward with bold intention, move beyond what is painful to behold, and slip quickly but deliberately through those viscous waters into radiant possibility. This is the power of presence … this is my choice. What is yours?

Go away anger, you are not welcome here.

Reach out for the sunshine, grab it, inhale it, harness your new vibrant power, and with all your might blast the clouds away. Its your turn. Now go make a difference and build astonishing and powerful new moments.

You are built to be strong. You are powerful. Choose joy and possibility. This is your moment.

Go away anger, you are not welcome here.
