- 2:06But I also want to say those words,
- 2:07welcome back, because you are very, very welcome

- 2:12All right, guys, let's get into this show,
- 2:15right?
- 2:16Welcome everyone to the ever-popular Inspiration to
- 2:18Your Life show.
- 2:19If you're thirsty, feel free to go grab
- 2:20something, a snack, a beverage, it could be
- 2:23water like the RO Lemon I have.
- 2:27It could be a piece of fruit, whatever
- 2:30you like.
- 2:31Ladies and gentlemen, I'm John C.
- 2:33Morley.
- 2:33I am a serial entrepreneur.
- 2:35I'm an engineer.
- 2:36I'm a marketing specialist, video producer, podcast host,
- 2:38coach, keynote speaker, passionate lifelong learner, a graduate
- 2:42student at Moncler State University, and so grateful
- 2:45now to be a published author.
- 2:47Hey, friends, have you ever dealt with someone
- 2:50who seems to know exactly what to say
- 2:52to get under your skin?
- 2:54Maybe it's one comment, maybe it's one accusation,
- 3:00or even a certain tone of voice, right?
- 3:03I think these are things that happen a
- 3:05lot in people's lives, but I think the
- 3:07biggest thing is I think a lot of
- 3:09people, I think they don't realize how their
- 3:12actions are affecting other people.
- 3:15And I think that's something that a lot
- 3:16of people, I don't want to say that
- 3:18they want to ignore, but they're ignoring it
- 3:21because they don't really know how to react,
- 3:24what to do.
- 3:25And hopefully tonight, I'll be able to share
- 3:28some very interesting insights to get you to
- 3:31change how you currently react, right?
- 3:36I think that's really our name of the
- 3:40game here, right?
- 3:41That is the name of the game.
- 3:43So again, we have a really great show
- 3:47for you here, if you didn't know that.
- 3:49And so the tone is important, and today
- 3:54I want to hopefully change all that.
- 3:57I think a lot of people say to
- 3:59me, John, I can't control that, I can't
- 4:03change that.
- 4:04And you're not wrong, okay?
- 4:08You're not wrong by saying that, but I
- 4:10think sometimes people, well, they basically get stuck,
- 4:16right?
- 4:16And I say they get stuck because they're
- 4:20in this world and they don't necessarily know
- 4:23what to say, what to do, right?
- 4:26But I want to tell you that you
- 4:28can make a lot of change in your
- 4:30life, okay?
- 4:32A lot of change, not just a simple
- 4:34change, I mean a lot of change.
- 4:37So let's get into this really seriously, okay?
- 4:42Listen to what emotions have to tell us,
- 4:44which we're going to learn later in the
- 4:46show.
- 4:46So what I want to talk to you
- 4:49about is anger.
- 4:51Not the momentary anger, but the anger we
- 4:53keep feeding long after the original moment has
- 4:56passed.
- 4:57Anger can alert us, protect us, and show
- 4:59us where a boundary may have been crossed.
- 5:02But when we continually give it attention, evidence,
- 5:04and energy, it begins consuming the person carrying
- 5:08it.
- 5:09So let's get right into this.
- 5:10Number one, anger grows when you continually feed
- 5:14it.
- 5:15Every replay, complaint, and imaginary argument can give
- 5:19anger another meal.
- 5:22What begins as a reasonable reaction can grow
- 5:25because we keep returning to it.
- 5:28Notice whether you're processing what happened or repeatedly
- 5:33feeding the same emotion.
- 5:36That's the key, guys.
- 5:37Number two, stop collecting evidence.
- 5:39For why you should stay angry.
- 5:42When you're angry, it's easy to build a
- 5:45case.
- 5:46We remember every insult, mistake, and even disappointment,
- 5:51okay?
- 5:52We remember those things, guys.
- 5:55They're not easy, but we remember them.
- 5:58And this is key, all right?
- 6:01We remember them and how it made us
- 6:05feel.
- 6:05Eventually, we're not looking for understanding anymore.
- 6:09We're looking for reasons to remain exactly where
- 6:12we are right now.
- 6:13Number three, guys, your mind finds more of
- 6:16whatever you keep searching for.
- 6:18If you constantly search for disrespect, betrayal, or
- 6:21reasons not to trust people, bingo, your mind
- 6:24becomes very good at finding those things.
- 6:27That doesn't mean recognizing that attention can amplify
- 6:32the things you, let's say, don't want.
- 6:37It can also amplify the things you do
- 6:38want.
- 6:39Number four, anger can become a habit.
- 6:41Yep.
- 6:42We usually think of habits as actions, but
- 6:44emotional patterns can become familiar too.
- 6:47If anger becomes your automatic response to inconvenience,
- 6:50disagreement, or disappointment, ask whether you're responding to
- 6:54today or just repeating yesterday's agenda.
- 6:59Number five, notice when outrage becomes familiar.
- 7:03I think that's when it becomes the most
- 7:06dangerous, when it's on autopilot.
- 7:09Sometimes being upset starts feeling normal.
- 7:13You wake up looking for the next thing
- 7:15that's wrong.
- 7:16Familiar doesn't mean healthy.
- 7:18If outrage has become your default setting, recognizing
- 7:21that pattern is the first step toward changing
- 7:24it.
- 7:25Number six, stop using anger as an emotional
- 7:29fuel.
- 7:30Anger can temporarily make you feel energized, yes,
- 7:34and even determined, but it's expensive fuel.
- 7:38If you need to stay furious to keep
- 7:39moving, eventually you're going to exhaust yourself and,
- 7:43yep, burn out.
- 7:45Build motivation instead from purpose and from what
- 7:49you actually want to create in your life,
- 7:51being attentional.
- 7:53Number seven, it eventually burns the person carrying
- 7:57it.
- 7:57You may believe your anger is directed at
- 7:59somebody else, but you're the one experiencing it
- 8:02in your body and mind.
- 8:04See, whatever you put out comes back to
- 8:06us in a boomerang.
- 8:07If you put good out, good comes back.
- 8:09You put bad out, bad comes back.
- 8:11They're not necessarily carrying what you're carrying.
- 8:15Don't let somebody else's behavior become a fire
- 8:18you maintain inside yourself.
- 8:20Number eight, ask what is underneath the anger.
- 8:24Anger is often the emotion we notice first,
- 8:27but it may not be the deepest one.
- 8:30Ask what sits underneath it.
- 8:32Were you hurt, embarrassed, ignored, betrayed, frightened, or
- 8:36maybe even disappointed?
- 8:38Finding the real emotion gives you something useful
- 8:42to work with.
- 8:44I think a lot of people, they operate
- 8:45on this anger autopilot.
- 8:49That's no good.
- 8:50It's unhealthy.
- 8:51Number nine, guys, hurt often hides behind rage.
- 8:57Sometimes rage feels safer than admitting something genuinely
- 9:01hurt us.
- 9:02Anger can feel powerful, while hurt feels vulnerable.
- 9:06But acknowledging the hurt doesn't make you weak.
- 9:09It can help you understand why the situation
- 9:11affected you so deeply.
- 9:12I want to share one with you.
- 9:14So I made a friend with somebody online.
- 9:18We became good friends.
- 9:20And the person actually did some things that
- 9:24were not great.
- 9:25Did that make me think less of them?
- 9:27No, but when they recently lost their job
- 9:31and they reached out to me and said,
- 9:32hey, John, what do I do?
- 9:34Well, it's probably going to be okay.
- 9:35The person posted something online, and that in
- 9:39itself wasn't the problem.
- 9:40He was getting blasted with all kinds of
- 9:42comments about the meme, which you shouldn't have
- 9:44done anyway.
- 9:44But the thing was, they were able to
- 9:48trace that back to his personal account.
- 9:52Then you figure, why did it matter?
- 9:54Well, here's what happened.
- 9:56They traced it back to his personal account,
- 9:58and they found out that he worked for
- 9:59a certain company.
- 10:01And guess what?
- 10:02That personal company, I thought, might have been
- 10:05a little easier.
- 10:06But because of all the damage potential that
- 10:08they were trying to put out, they fired
- 10:11him.
- 10:11Now, when I chatted with him about it
- 10:15and how this would be hard to get
- 10:16another job, I said, you can do unemployment,
- 10:18and you're entitled to do that.
- 10:20He said they talked to one of his
- 10:23family members, and that family member said that
- 10:26they let him go because they eliminated the
- 10:29position.
- 10:29Now, that's not really what they did, but
- 10:32they didn't want a legal case, okay?
- 10:35Because technically, this could have gotten messy in
- 10:38court.
- 10:38So they agreed that they would let him
- 10:42go with the, let's say, statement that the
- 10:47position was just terminated, so he could get
- 10:48work somewhere else.
- 10:49But here's the funny part, guys.
- 10:51It's a person had been messaging me back
- 10:53and forth for advice, and I was really
- 10:54telling him, I'm concerned about you.
- 10:56I hope you're doing okay.
- 10:58And you know what happened after knowing this
- 11:00person for several years?
- 11:01Somebody who called me a friend, someone who
- 11:04called me somebody that they just enjoy hanging
- 11:07with.
- 11:07You know what they did today on Facebook?
- 11:10They blocked me.
- 11:14It felt weird, because here I am, we
- 11:19were friends.
- 11:21I visited their place, and we became good
- 11:26friends.
- 11:28And when I tried to show some care
- 11:30when they were getting rageful, what did they
- 11:34do?
- 11:35They blocked me.
- 11:37Now, is that a permanent block?
- 11:39You know, I don't know.
- 11:42But part of me says, John, you probably
- 11:45should block them back.
- 11:46I'm probably not going to, but if I
- 11:48hear a response, I may not respond to
- 11:49them.
- 11:50That's what rageful people do when they can't
- 11:55handle the truth.
- 11:57Number 10, fear can disguise itself as anger,
- 11:59guys.
- 12:00Fear of losing control, being rejected, getting hurt
- 12:03again, or facing uncertainty can come out of
- 12:05a place or corner like anger.
- 12:08Before reacting, ask whether fear is actually driving
- 12:11your response or not.
- 12:13Naming the real emotion changes how you handle
- 12:16it, guys.
- 12:16This is key.
- 12:18Number 11, disappointment can become resentment.
- 12:23When expectations are repeatedly unmet, disappointment can harden
- 12:28into resentment.
- 12:29Maybe someone didn't show up the way you
- 12:31expected them to.
- 12:32Acknowledge that disappointment before it becomes something you
- 12:36carry into every future interaction.
- 12:39Number 12, identify the emotion before trying to
- 12:43control it.
- 12:44You can't manage something effectively if you haven't
- 12:47identified it.
- 12:48Instead of simply saying you're angry, get specific.
- 12:53Hurt, fear, frustration, embarrassment, disappointment may each require
- 12:58a different response.
- 12:59Don't lump them into one.
- 13:01Number 13, stop being proud of how long
- 13:04you can hold a grudge.
- 13:07There's no ice cream sundae for you.
- 13:09Holding a grudge for years isn't necessarily evidence
- 13:12of strength.
- 13:13Sometimes it means an old event still has
- 13:15access to today's emotions.
- 13:17You don't need to prove how seriously something
- 13:20affected you by carrying it forever.
- 13:22In fact, that might just prove how weak
- 13:24you are and how much of an ego
- 13:27you have.
- 13:28Number 14, holding on isn't always strength.
- 13:32There are times when persistence is powerful, but
- 13:35there are also times when release requires more
- 13:38strength.
- 13:39Don't confuse refusing to let go with standing
- 13:44up for yourself.
- 13:45You can maintain a boundary without maintaining the
- 13:47anger.
- 13:50Number 15, release requires courage too, guys.
- 13:55Yeah, I know it's not easy.
- 13:56Letting go can feel risky because anger may
- 14:00have become part of how you protect yourself.
- 14:02When that person blocked me today, am I
- 14:04angry?
- 14:05I'm not angry.
- 14:06I can let it go.
- 14:07I was a little sad because we were
- 14:09friends, but, you know, I look at it
- 14:13this way.
- 14:14If that person doesn't value me, no biggie.
- 14:20Letting go can feel risky because anger may
- 14:23have become part of how you protect yourself.
- 14:24But releasing it doesn't mean becoming careless.
- 14:29It means trusting yourself enough to keep the
- 14:32lesson without needing the emotional armor.
- 14:36Number 16, anger can alert you without leading
- 14:40you.
- 14:41Anger can be useful information.
- 14:44It can tell you that a value was
- 14:46violated or a boundary was crossed.
- 14:49Listen to that signal, but don't automatically hand
- 14:52it to the steering wheel.
- 14:54Information should guide judgment, not replace it, guys.
- 14:58Number 17, listen to the message, then choose
- 15:02the response.
- 15:03I said, listen, don't just respond.
- 15:06Ask what your anger is trying to tell
- 15:08you.
- 15:10Maybe something needs to change.
- 15:12Maybe a conversation or boundary is necessary that
- 15:15wasn't there before.
- 15:16Hear the message, then choose your response accordingly
- 15:19to your values instead of the intensity of
- 15:22the emotion that you have at the moment.
- 15:25Number 18, stop building your identity around what
- 15:28hurt you.
- 15:30It's only going to hurt you more.
- 15:31Something painful may be part of your story,
- 15:34but it doesn't need to become your entire
- 15:36identity.
- 15:37Be careful about defining yourself emotionally through what
- 15:40somebody did to you.
- 15:43You're still becoming more than that experience, okay?
- 15:47Number 19, you are larger than the thing
- 15:51that made you angry.
- 15:56You're larger than that.
- 15:58You're better than that.
- 16:03That's an important thing, guys.
- 16:05No single person, betrayal, argument, rejection, disappointment deserves
- 16:15to define the size of your life.
- 16:17No one or nothing.
- 16:20Your goals, your relationships, your abilities, your values,
- 16:23and futures are larger than you can imagine.
- 16:27Don't let one painful chapter become the entire
- 16:30title of your life's book.
- 16:35You can change your life anytime.
- 16:38Just because you seem to have a sentence
- 16:41right now, you can change that.
- 16:43Maybe your life wasn't going the right way,
- 16:45but you can change that.
- 16:51I think that's important.
- 16:59And hopefully that changes you.
- 17:01Right?
- 17:06That's important, guys.
- 17:13I think a lot of people out there
- 17:16think it's gonna be easy, but you know,
- 17:19guys, it's not easy.
- 17:22Number 20, give yourself permission to soften without
- 17:25becoming vulnerable again.
- 17:27You can become less angry without reopening that
- 17:30door you intentionally meant to close.
- 17:33Softening doesn't mean abandoning your boundaries.
- 17:36Protection can come from judgment, awareness, and distance
- 17:40instead of permanent emotional tension.
- 17:43Number 21, peace doesn't mean pretending nothing happened.
- 17:47You don't have to rewrite history to become
- 17:50peaceful.
- 17:51Something can have been wrong, unfair, or even
- 17:54painful.
- 17:55And you can still decide not to carry
- 17:58the same emotional intensity forever.
- 18:02Peace and honesty can exist together.
- 18:06It's just a lot of people think it's
- 18:08gonna happen so easily.
- 18:09It doesn't.
- 18:11Number 22, stop feeding emotional fires you want
- 18:14extinguished.
- 18:15If you genuinely want the anger to decrease,
- 18:18notice what keeps reigniting it.
- 18:19Replaying conversations, checking someone's social media, retelling the
- 18:24story, or imagining revenge may keep adding fuel
- 18:28to your fire secretly.
- 18:29You can't extinguish a fire you're continually feeding,
- 18:32even if you don't seem to directly feed
- 18:34it.
- 18:34Indirectly you may, and that may keep whatever's
- 18:38hurting you.
- 18:40Attached to you and hurting you more.
- 18:43Number 23, change what you repeatedly think about.
- 18:47You can't prevent every unwanted thought from appearing,
- 18:49but you can influence what receives sustained attention.
- 18:53When the same angry story returns, redirect yourself
- 18:57towards something constructive instead of automatically following it
- 19:01again.
- 19:01That's not easy, guys, but you can do
- 19:03it.
- 19:03Number 24, reduce the necessary exposure to what
- 19:05keeps triggering you.
- 19:06Sometimes emotional control requires changing your environment.
- 19:10You don't have to repeatedly expose yourself to
- 19:12people, content, conversations, or situations that activate the
- 19:16same anger when that exposure serves no useful
- 19:19purpose for you.
- 19:21Number 25, build routines that restore you.
- 19:27Don't make your entire strategy about avoiding anger.
- 19:32Build things that actively restore your energy.
- 19:35Exercise, sleep, meaningful work, charity, hobbies, time outside,
- 19:41and even good conversations can keep your mind
- 19:44healthier in places you want to go.
- 19:48Number 26, guys, choose people who don't constantly
- 19:51activate your defense button.
- 19:55Healthy relationships, guys, should require you to remain
- 19:58emotionally armored all the time.
- 19:59Pay attention to how people consistently affect you.
- 20:03Choose relationships where respect, honesty, and communication allow
- 20:07you to lower your defenses.
- 20:09Number 27, your nervous system deserves a break.
- 20:13Why not give it one?
- 20:14Living in a constant conflict battle can make
- 20:17everything feel like a threat in your life.
- 20:20Give yourself periods where you aren't arguing, monitoring,
- 20:24defending, or preparing for the next problem.
- 20:28Rest isn't weakness.
- 20:29Sometimes your entire system needs quiet.
- 20:34Number 28, stop carrying battle mode everywhere.
- 20:39The skills that protected you in one difficult
- 20:42situation can become harmful when you bring them
- 20:45into every new one.
- 20:46Not everyone is your enemy.
- 20:49Don't make new people fight battles they never
- 20:51started or asked for.
- 20:53Number 29, you don't have to stay angry
- 20:57to stay protected, guys.
- 20:59That's a misnomer.
- 21:00This is a critical one.
- 21:01Anger isn't your only defense.
- 21:04You've got boundaries.
- 21:05You've got awareness.
- 21:06You've got distance.
- 21:07You've got judgment.
- 21:08And you've got experience.
- 21:10And they all can protect you too.
- 21:12And they won't raise your blood pressure.
- 21:15You can lower the anger while keeping every
- 21:18lesson you learned and earned from what happened
- 21:22inside you and allow that to help you
- 21:25make your new decisions.
- 21:27Number 30, stop feeding the anger before the
- 21:30anger starts feeding on you.
- 21:31See, anger needs attention to remain powerful.
- 21:34Stop giving an old wound a limited access
- 21:36to today's energy.
- 21:38Take the information, keep the boundary, learn the
- 21:41lesson, and decide when the emotional cost has
- 21:44become too high.
- 21:47Anger isn't automatically bad.
- 21:49Sometimes it tells us exactly what we need
- 21:52to notice.
- 21:53The danger begins when a temporary signal becomes
- 21:56a permanent way of living.
- 21:58Ask yourself what you're feeling.
- 22:01And you're feeding.
- 22:03Are you collecting responses and reasons to stay
- 22:06angry?
- 22:08We're playing the same conversations in your head.
- 22:11Checking what somebody is doing.
- 22:13Waiting for them to fail.
- 22:15Carrying battle mode into relationships that had nothing
- 22:18to do with the original hurt that you
- 22:21started with.
- 22:22You don't need to deny what happened.
- 22:25You don't need to trust somebody again.
- 22:28You don't need to remove a boundary that
- 22:30protects you.
- 22:30But you also don't need anger to prove
- 22:33that the boundary matters.
- 22:37I think when somebody has to get that
- 22:39emphatic and show that they've got to defend
- 22:42themselves with anger, that's not going anywhere.
- 22:46What that is showing is that you are
- 22:48laced with egos.
- 22:50I don't think anybody really wants egos.
- 22:53But they happen in our lives, right?
- 22:55So you don't need to deny what happened.
- 22:57So you don't need to trust somebody again.
- 22:59You don't need to remove the boundary that
- 23:01protects you.
- 23:02But you also don't need anger to prove
- 23:05that the boundary matters.
- 23:07It matters.
- 23:08And that's fine.
- 23:10Perfectly fine.
- 23:12Listen to what the emotion came to tell
- 23:16you.
- 23:17Identify the hurt, fear, disappointment, or violated boundary
- 23:23underneath it.
- 23:24Make the change that needs to be made.
- 23:27Then decide whether continuing to feed the anger
- 23:30is actually helping you.
- 23:33So I think these are things that a
- 23:34lot of people miss in life.
- 23:36And then they wonder why they're not happy.
- 23:40Because they're trying to prove why they're angry,
- 23:44right?
- 23:45I think that can be something that a
- 23:47lot of people, for whatever reason, I think
- 23:49they just don't understand.
- 23:50And I say they don't understand it because
- 23:53they get tied up with this option.
- 23:57And it's a big problem, guys.
- 23:59So I want to invite you to listen
- 24:01to what the emotion came to tell you.
- 24:04Identify the hurt, the fear, the disappointment, or
- 24:08violated boundary underneath it.
- 24:11Make the change that needs to be made.
- 24:14Then decide whether continuing to feed the anger
- 24:16is actually helping you or hurting you.
- 24:19And I bet you it's probably hurting you,
- 24:22right?
- 24:25Are you collecting reasons to stay angry?
- 24:27We're playing the same conversations again.
- 24:29You don't need to deny what happened, okay?
- 24:32You don't need to remove what you're feeling.
- 24:36Listen to what the emotion came to tell
- 24:38you.
- 24:39You're larger than what hurt you.
- 24:41Your future deserves more energy than your resentment.
- 24:44Your nervousness is all you need to realize.
- 24:48But learn the lesson.
- 24:51Keep your discernment.
- 24:53Keep the boundary when it's necessary.
- 24:54But stop carrying the war scars and battles.
- 24:58You don't need them.
- 24:59Because you see, anger can begin as a
- 25:01response to what somebody else did and eventually
- 25:03become something you're, well, trying to hide from.
- 25:09Stop feeding the anger before the anger starts
- 25:11feeding on you.
- 25:15I hope that matters to you.
- 25:16And I hope that all of you listening
- 25:18and watching will choose to apply this in
- 25:21your life.
- 25:21Because the world can be a better place
- 25:24if we choose to not be angry.
- 25:30I said choose.
- 25:31That's a choice that we all have, right?
- 25:36I think that's something that we need to
- 25:37be thinking about.
- 25:40Not something we can just say, hey, this
- 25:42isn't working.
- 25:44We have to experience why things are happening
- 25:46and why they're not.
- 25:48And if life isn't going the way we
- 25:49want, we know what Einstein said, doing the
- 25:52same thing over and over again, expect and
- 25:53give results.
- 25:53You know what that is?
- 25:54That is insanity.
- 25:57So why are we doing it, right?
- 26:00Nobody is wanting to be insane, like, on
- 26:04purpose, intentionally.
- 26:06But there's something inside us that causes that
- 26:11mode to just keep replaying.
- 26:15Maybe it's a safety net.
- 26:17Maybe it's the fact that we feel without
- 26:20that, there's no way we can go on.
- 26:23Maybe we feel we have to prove something
- 26:24when we really don't.
- 26:26Maybe we're doing it because whatever's going on
- 26:29in our life seem to be disrupting the
- 26:32joy and peace that we love so very
- 26:34much.
- 26:37Maybe we're doing it because we're trying to
- 26:39get attention.
- 26:41Maybe we're doing it, again, because we think
- 26:45that if we hold that grudge long enough,
- 26:49that we'll get the closure.
- 26:51We won't.
- 26:53We'll just get frustration.
- 26:54We'll get people that just may not come
- 26:57back.
- 26:57And that's going to hurt you even harder.
- 27:00So I want you to release whatever resentment,
- 27:03whatever anger you have, and love the joy
- 27:08that's in your life.
- 27:11Love what you do.
- 27:14Love what you do.
- 27:16I think that's a very important thing.
- 27:20But again, a lot of people out there
- 27:21today just don't believe they have the power.
- 27:25And you do have that power, ladies and
- 27:27gentlemen.
- 27:28You have it.
- 27:29Don't let other people say to you, oh,
- 27:31well, you know, you're better off to be
- 27:32angry.
- 27:33You got to protect yourself.
- 27:35There's protecting yourself.
- 27:37And then there's being a jerk.
- 27:41And if you think that overreacting is protecting
- 27:45yourself because you're not letting anybody near you,
- 27:48then you're missing on the joys of life.
