Shoot is going crazy good!
-
You know why?
-
I'm gonna tell you.
-
Four episodes.
-
It's only 11:20.
-
What?
-
We're gonna get all of them done before lunch and then green screen.
-
Green screen.
-
Like that.
-
But I can't wear these pants, because they're green.
-
I'd be like in a horror movie.
-
I'd just be like my top.
-
A floating torso.
-
Exactly.
-
With amazing shoes.
-
Yes.
-
Let's do it.
-
Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business
-
and life you want to snuggle with and cuddle with and kiss and love.
-
Today's question comes from Ava who writes:
-
“Hi, Marie.
-
I'm Ava.
-
I'm 6 years old.
-
My question is, why did God make the feeling of anger?
-
I ask my mom every day if Marie is gonna answer my question today.
-
Thank you.
-
Love you.
-
Ava.”
-
Oh, my goodness.
-
Ava.
-
This, honestly, is one of the best questions ever.
-
Thank you so much.
-
And I've got to say, huge thanks to Ava's mom for sending it in to us.
-
You know, one of the things that my mom taught me when I was just about your age is that
-
I could talk with God any time I wanted to.
-
You know, she said I had this direct line to God and I could ask questions, and I'd
-
always get an answer back.
-
What I'd have to do is just listen to that still, small voice inside.
-
And that's how I'd hear my answer.
-
-
Now, that said, I do have an A for your Q.
-
So my belief is this.
-
I believe that God made anger so that we could use to to create a much better, more loving
-
world.
-
And here's what I mean by that.
-
Anger, it's really a natural emotion.
-
It's not bad, and it's certainly not wrong to feel.
-
Anger really is just energy, and all energy can be transformed.
-
Almost like magic.
-
Just like electricity or heat.
-
And you want to know what else?
-
This is something most people don't know.
-
Once you understand anger and you really know how to use it, it can actually turn into this
-
super powerful and super positive force.
-
Because it can help you do things like stand up and speak out to help other people.
-
So, for instance, let's say that you saw someone being mean to another person.
-
Now, you might start to feel angry about that.
-
Right?
-
Well, guess what?
-
You can take that feeling and you can use it as fuel to do something positive like maybe
-
protect that person or speak up for them and their rights.
-
So I really think that God gave us anger so that we could use it to transform it into
-
the most powerful force in the entire universe.
-
And you know what that is?
-
That force is love.
-
And here are three steps that'll help you do just that.
-
Step number one, first thing you've gotta do is you've gotta really feel it.
-
So when I say feel it, here's what I mean.
-
I want you to take a really deep breath and see if you can feel that energy somewhere
-
in your body.
-
Just like you know how excitement can sometimes feel like butterflies in your belly?
-
Well, see if you can feel that anger energy in your body.
-
So is it in your chest or maybe is it in your throat?
-
Or maybe it's in your big right toe.
-
Because when you allow yourself to really feel an emotion in your body, typically it
-
only lasts just a few seconds before it changes into something else.
-
So when you really allow yourself to feel that energy, then we're gonna be ready to
-
move on to step number two.
-
Step number two is this: you've gotta question it.
-
Now, here's what I mean by that.
-
I want you to get really curious and ask yourself, Ava, what exactly do you feel angry about?
-
What do you feel is wrong right now?
-
And, more importantly, why?
-
So ask yourself, what do you think should happen instead?
-
This is where perhaps it would be a good idea to talk with your mom or your favorite teacher,
-
or you can even jot down your answers or draw a picture about it.
-
Because understanding what you feel angry about and why is gonna help you understand
-
your values or what you really care about in this life.
-
So some examples are things like fairness or kindness or generosity.
-
And once you know your values, that can help you move on to step number three, which is
-
this.
-
Step number three is where we get to transform it.
-
And this, my darling, is where all of the magic happens.
-
So remember, right, anger is just energy and all energy can be transformed.
-
Now, you want to ask yourself, is there some positive action that you might want to take
-
to either help yourself or to help someone else?
-
Is there something that you might want to make or share with others?
-
Is there something that you can imagine that you could do to help you convert or transform
-
that energy into a loving, positive action?
-
Now, once again, this is all really great stuff to talk about with your mom or your
-
favorite teacher, or really any grownup in your life that you trust.
-
And I want you to hear a quote on this topic from someone who's one of my heroes in life,
-
Dr. Maya Angelou.
-
Who said this.
-
“Use that anger.
-
You write it.
-
You paint it.
-
You dance it.
-
You march it.
-
You vote it.
-
You do everything about it.”
-
Now, one more thing, Ava.
-
Do you remember in the beginning that I said that my mom taught me that I have this direct
-
line to God?
-
Well, guess what?
-
I do.
-
So why don't we call up God right now and make sure that I didn't leave anything out
-
of my answer?
-
Marie?
-
You usually text.
-
What's up, momma?
-
Hi, God.
-
Really quick, I know your time is so valuable.
-
So I am shooting this MarieTV episode for Ava, who wanted to know why you created anger.
-
And I want to make triple sure that I don't leave anything out of my answer.
-
Marie, you nailed it.
-
As usual.
-
But, hey, God.
-
We're just shooting this.
-
How could you see it already?
-
Come on, girl.
-
I'm God.
-
Yes.
-
I don't know why I always forget.
-
I think because we're such good friends.
-
Okay, well, thank you so much.
-
You know how much I love you.
-
Have an amazing day, and I'll talk you to soon.
-
Bye.
-
Bye.
-
So there you have it.
-
You heard the word from God herself.
-
Your Q has now been A'd, and I really do hope it helps, Ava.
-
Please keep me posted.
-
And now I would love to hear from you.
-
So what's an example from your life where you took that energy of anger, you know, that
-
very fiery feeling that we all get, and you transformed it into something healthy and
-
positive?
-
I want Ava to see some concrete examples, because I feel like they help all of us learn
-
in a much more productive way.
-
