An interesting story in the Bible is the story of Jesus and the money changers.

Jesus entered the temple and found people conducting business unethically and "drove them out, overturned their tables."

I have always found this interesting because Jesus was more a "turn the other cheek" kind of guy. Not usually the type to turn over tables and drive people out.

I believe we can learn from this example.

Sometimes in life you have to get fired up.

We all should have at least one thing in our life that we will get flat out mad about.

Often, the point when we finally get mad is the start to a positive change.

The day you step on the scale and see that number and get mad enough to change forever.

The day you get that credit card statement and get mad enough to cut up the credit cards for good.

The day you get mad enough to walk out on that relationship that has been dragging you down for years.

That point where you get angry enough to fight for what’s important is liberating. When you decide that something is important to you and that you will make it a priority you create clarity. And clarity creates motivation and inspiration.

These priorities also help with the other side of anger.

Most things aren’t worth getting angry about.

Most of us should have a very short list of things we will get mad about.

Make it a great day.
