Self-Reflection

How does one change one's state to a higher state? And part of that is the emotions. So you say, well, there are certain emotions. I get angry all the time. You have to step back and say, what's that anger really doing for me? Well, it's separating me from people I care about. And again, how do you figure that out? That's where you have a mentor, you have a guide, or maybe you just have something. You watch a movie and suddenly it comes. But that's the whole self discovery journey. Then you say, well look, I'm just not going to go down that road. The next time someone does something that pisses me off, you know, I'm just going to smile. I'll put a smile on my face, wait till they leave, and I'll go out and kick a tree or something. And then that's the process.
