   Hi Oliver,
   Excellent post. I like the thought behind confusing burning desire with anger – great point. If anger leads the way to what and why we do things, it is like driving at night in the rain in thick fog. I would rather deal with the anger first, and then allow a plan of action to be created from love to get to the desired destination. Knowledge is power when it has a plan of action – so true! Otherwise it lays dormant in your head like boxes in an attic.

   thanks for sharing, great video!

   Hi Joe,

   I love the analogy of driving at night in thick fog, awesome. I could add full throttle and lights off, lol.

   We definitely have to deal with anger to really own our lives. I think it’s essential to set goals, take action without hesitation and commit to never giving up. Then we can learn as we go. Anger won’t show up unless we provoke it by setting goals and taking action. A “good” way to deal with anger is also not to set goals and not to take action and live in kind of a semi-trance, as Michaelé pointed out wonderfully. Not that I recommend it

   Thanks for your wonderful comment.

   Take care

   Hi Oliver! Great lesson today. I appreciate your sharing your story and in other blog posts as you share your wisdom.

   What you said about anger really struck me. I remember someone who radiated so much anger that just stepping into his apartment, you could feel it. I am working on my own anger, too, because as you said, your anger and resentment hurts you not the other person.

   HI Oliver, there are a few sides to this post. I think the part that really resonated with me was how Anger is an emotion that can make us do silly things in the name of being right. I guess I’m stuck on the ‘anger’ part of the lesson because I’ve seen it, felt it and frankly, lived amongst much of it.

   I don’t suppose I ever really thought about it, as in really focused on it as a burning emotion… although I suppose we all know it inside.

   Imagine what a person could do using that ‘burning’ for good.

   BTW.. I’m still quite angry at your grandfather too for excluding your mom …

   what you said about you needing to write a letter and burn it… I wonder if that would help?? will you let us know if you feel any different after you stop procrastinating on it? I’m skeptical.

   Oliver, you often bring posts that are multi sided and have me thinking. I think in order to comment on the specialized knowledge part, I am going to have to re-listen and re read…. I’ll do that.

   Hi Jayne,

   thanks for your comment. You didn’t miss the Specialized Knowledge part because I don’t say much about it. Well, apart from the Specialized Knowledge how to develop the heart instead of the mind. The way to do so goes via conquering and mastering anger.

   I will definitely write that letter and I will accompany this cleansing process with kinesiological support. What I know from personal development is also the following: When people are angry at everything and everybody (like myself, lol), they always have an issue with God, the Creator, the Universe etc. So I will have to meditate on that as well.

   I will let you know how it goes if you don’t mind.

   Getting other people to think is something that makes me really happy

   Take care

   Hi Oliver,

   Great topic in your video and one that many would be unwilling to address.

   I agree that in Western society we live inside a semi trance when it comes to our minds. Most of us are operating daily from the minds senseless automatic behaviors, without even realizing it because we have completely lost touch with any sense of purpose.

   It’s only once we have the courage to step outside of the comfort zone (the cunning prison of our minds) that we can truly connect with our heart again.

   There is a lot to be said for quiet moments of contemplation and meditation, yet most people will claim they don’t have time. They are too busy running around like zombies operating on autopilot.

   When you operate from the heart, you come from purpose and from this place, you can truly begin to help a lot of people.

   Hi Michaelé,

   thanks for your wonderful comment. Semi-trance, I love that

   I second you on everything you say 100 %: Senseless automatic behaviors, no sense of purpose, no time for quiet time, zombies on autopilot. Wow.

   Come back soon and take care

   Well Oliver, you’ve outdone yourself this time. You discussion on anger hit home like a ton of bricks. I spent a good amount of my early years as an angry young man, blaming everyone else for my troubles.

   As I got into adulthood, I continued this trend, although did better at hiding it. The result as a variety of diseases and disorders that are generally related to stress. In my case, they were diseases of anger turned inwards.

   When I first started a business, anger would surface when I felt like someone had “wronged” me in some way, when all the time it was an insecurity in my own self that was the source of my anger.

   Finally, as I turn the corner and start the final one third of my life, I have learned that anger is a disempowering emotion, not empowering. I have learned to recognize it for what it is — as you said, usually fear or insecurities.

   As a result, I have finally been able to master my anger (for the most part) and begin to enjoy all the wonderful things like gives. It has taken me years to understand, but finally it has happened.

   Sorry that I did not address your original question about specialized knowledge, but you spent a good amount of video time on anger, and I felt like you were speaking to me.

   Thank you Oliver, for always making us think!

   Hi Bob,

   thanks for your wonderful comment and insights. No worries, i didn’t spend much time on Specialized Knowledge either What’s the use of pouring even more clutter into the brain when we are blocked by anger anyway ?

   Well, you’ve done a great job mastering your Self and the dangerous and negative emotion of anger. How many people take it into their graves ? Well, that might not be true – they release it when they take their very last breath. Most people realize when it’s too late.

   Take care

   WOW that’s truly a slap on the face of educational systems we have. I am sure that teaching knowledge is only useful in the classroom for the purpose of job accomplishment. Teachers are paid to teach and they develop necessary skills to take care of their job, but they don’t think outside the box. They don’t posses common sense and neither do they insist the same to their students.

   Hi Oliver,

   Anger is something that we all deal with on one level or another. There was a time when I was very much consumed by it and didn’t know how to deal with it. Thankfully there are many different ways to deal with anger and I learned how to get it under control and in most circumstances eliminate it. When we know how to appropriately deal with anger it can be a great tool to bring about great change and growth.

   Thanks,
   Stacy

   Hi Oliver,

   This to me is a very touching post, in all areas, as you have not only stressed how important it is to develop one’s heart (not just the mind), but you also talked about the different negative and positive emotions. It is so enlightening how you differentiated the white heat of anger vs white heat of desire, and how all people are subject to anger which they believe gives them power. What most do not know (or do not admit) is that , that same anger also haunts them like a ghost. I am glad to hear about the steps you’re taking to developing your heart and to totally free yourself of anger.

   I love the poem you shared here too, Oliver! Indeed very fitting for this powerful post. Thank you for sharing another thought-provoking topic.

   Hi Rowena,

   thanks for your beautiful comment. We can choose getting motivated by anger, but it back fire on us, sooner or later, you are right on. It’s like a drug, a substance: You can calm your mind with alcohol or enhance your imagination, but at an insane price. Most people are addicted to their anger because they are only aware of the positive aspect of it and not of the self-destructive part.

   Glad you liked my “soul message”

   When you think that most of the popular jobs that kids want today didn’t exist 10 years ago you can see that education isn’t moving along fast enough. Kids need a good skill set to get on well in life, not necessarily good broad general knowledge.

   Hi Charlotte,

   you are so right: Many many jobs and business models didn’t even exist 10 years ago and I guess most people including teachers aren’t even aware of them and the huge opportunities attached to them.

   Thanks for your comment.

    Hi Oliver,

    Anger can definitely be a very destructive emotion but I think it can also sometimes lead us to take action that moves us along more than when we are stuck in resentment or depression for instance.

    One of the challenges when we feel anger is the intensity that charges the emotion since then we attach to it it more and can’t release it.

    I spent much of my earlier adult life labelling and analysing anger which was totally futile.

    I am a lot better these days at recognizing it and just letting it be until it dissipates which it does quite quickly enough when you don’t make it your identity.

    I often hear people say “I am angry.” as opposed to “I am feeling angry”. They
    sound the same but they are poles apart.

    Thanks for sharing your insights here again Oliver.

    Hi Marcus,

    thanks for your comment. In my view, the positive part of anger is also the dangerous part. If the actions we take are anger-driven, we will screw up sooner or later. The challenge is taking the energy and letting go of the emotional self-destruction.

    I agree that we should never say “I am angry.” or “I am…” followed by an adjective describing a negative emotion or something else negative because otherwise we own it.

    Take care

    I’ve tried several MLM companies, and while the concept is good and the business model simple, it is anything but easy to get rich at this game. Not to rain on anybody’s parade because there is a significant amount of money to be made in network marketing, but I think that anybody entering into this business needs to do so with eyes wide open. The fact of the matter is that 99.9% of the people that enter into these businesses do not make the kind of money that your upline will usually promise you. In fact on average only 1 in 1000 will turn any type of profit at all after subtracting for all the expenses and purchased products involved.

    Recruiters will try to make it look easy telling you that if you get 2 that bring 2 that bring 2 you’ll be rich in a few months. Sounds easy doesn’t it? The reality is that if you bring 10 usually only 1 will end up doing anything. So to get those 2 you need to really get 20, and then they need to get 20 and so on. The fact of the matter is that within 5 years there is a 90% drop out rate in MLM. So even if the person you recruit starts off working hard the likelihood that they’re going to keep working is statistically very low.

    So go in with eyes wide open. You can make a lot of money, but it’s never as easy as anyone claims. Be ready to work your behind off for at least 3 years before seeing a substantial pay off. In the end I just couldn’t deal with all the difficult and oftentimes whiny people that I met in the business. It seemed like the people most interested in MLM were also the most desperate to leave their jobs.

    Hey Oliver,

    What a powerful lesson you’re sharing here. We all deal with anger one way or the other. The question is, how do we deal with it in order to move on?

    The key is to learn how to deal with it appropriately so we don’t consumed by it and make wrong decisions.

    Thanks for sharing your insights.

    All the best,
