You can’t selectively numb your anger, any more than you can turn off all lights in a room, and still expect to see the light.
When we are blinded by our frustration and devastation we become oblivious to the life preserver floating inches away from us. If we take a minute to think positive, utilize our faith, and become proactive, we are able to think rationally and clearly. We then will recognize the life preserver which will keep us afloat and help us get to our destination.
Be proactive not reactive, for an apparently insignificant issue ignored today can spawn tomorrow's catastrophe.
