There has never been a better time to take full control of your emotions than now. Right now you are in being pulled in so many directions that sometimes, you don't know exactly how many directions. Stress levels go up, time starts slipping away and the next thing you know things get out of control, to include your emotions.
One thing that many of us forget is that we are the master of our fate, control our destiny. We hold our future in the palm of our hands. However, when we let emotions get out of hand we lose control of ourselves and we hand our power over to someone else. Now someone will control us and our emotions. Once you give it away it is so hard to take back. So don't do it.
Easier said than done, right? It is easy because you are the ONLY person that has the power to make you happy and to make you unhappy. That's right NOT your neighbor, not your spouse, not your family, and definitely not your friends.
ONLY YOU!!!
You have the luxury to pick and choose when and what will rattle your cage and what will not. Always remember this cold hard fact the next time you are surrounded by negativity, by those that would rather see you miserable more than anything else in the world. Remember, that you have the power and no one else will unless you decide to give it away.
Act on the knowledge that you control your emotions and NO ONE else does. While it may be a little difficult at first, however, after deliberate attempts to remember and act, you will soon stop giving your emotions and (ultimately) control to others who do NOT deserve it.
Thank You,
