What do you mean by constructive criticism?
Ask yourself, “How would the quality of your life improve if you use me in safe, acceptable ways?” No creative director, design team leader, invention expert, or innovation guru is ever gonna tell you what you can or cannot do as long as I'm one of your senses.
I'm Anger--the voice inside your head (and not heart) that tells you in no uncertain terms how you feel, what you like, and what you hate. And I'm here to be heard! Until you express me, the way you feel, I'm gonna make you stew.
Just try to keep me bottled up inside and you're headed for ulcer city. I'll eat your insides and pump up the pressure in your skull, until you take decisive action.
I won't settle for whining either. You can complain all day to your friends and family, but until you confront the powers that be and get something done, I'm gonna make you sweat till your hands tremble and knees shake. I'm the sense that turns complaints into solutions, if used constructively.
Likewise, if nobody complains, nothing gets done, nothing improves. No innovation. No creativity.
Complainers make you uncomfortable, don't they? Because you know where they're coming from. You've been there. Haven't you? Why did you get upset? Because I had my say. That's why.
Remember, it is human to have me. What you do with me, which counts.
That's right. It's me. I'm Anger, and I don't take anything sitting down. Think about it. Would there be any justice without me? Face it, indignation, whether it's righteous or for self, gets the job done.
Don't stand there and take it. Rise up. Instead of making your anger bad, stuffing it down or exploding with frustration, take The Anger Challenge. Make it your sense.
