My name is Eric. A few decades ago, I was a younger man who was completely lost. I didn't feel any sense of purpose, or any real direction in life. Like most men, I was taught to please. I was taught to be "nice and respectful." I was taught to put everything that I wanted in life on the backburner. I became very resentful and bitter as a result.

Not realizing at the time that the anger over many of these issues was what was keeping me stuck. I didn't understand that anger is a problem. It's a kind of disease of sorts. And it's a sickness passed from one generation to the next. "Anger is good," they say. "You have to protect yourself," they say. "The anger will keep you safe and keep you moving forward," they say.

It's all a lie. Anger doesn't help anyone at all. Now, I'm not saying to allow yourself to be a punching bag for someone. Of course not. Especially in a physical sense. Remove yourself from danger and defend yourself if necessary. All I'm saying is holding onto any anger is the problem. It doesn't keep you safe, or healthy. As a matter of fact, it's much more likely to lead you into negative situations, or keep you stuck due to fear (which is the anger....just the other side of the coin). Anger makes you blind as you descend into darkness.

There is a better way....A way out....

A way that doesn't involve anything that keeps you numb to the situations we face in life.
