Emotions

Emotions....can be really scary

They can be your best friend....and make you feel really good.
Or they could be your enemy...toiling your heart up and down, juggling act of clown.

But, emotions is one thing that differentiates us from the non-living things around us. Emotions allow us to be human, allow us to understand, to love, to laugh...to LIVE.

Without emotions, we are all dead. So celebrate having emotions!

But....be cautious about being emotional.
The smartest communicators are those who are able to MANAGE emotions, take control of it...and not make emotions their master.

How does it feel like when emotions are your master? You listen to it...do what it ask you to do...most of the time, you don't think...you just FEEL...and that is enough to drive you to act.

Master your emotions. Feel what you need to feel, by all means feel it...but not follow its lead.  You are the leader. Not your emotions.


But there is a fine line to it. To be emotionally controlled, and emotionally rigid.

Emotionally rigid is a result of shutting off to avoid oneself from feeling more pain...and eventually numb out other feelings from entering the heart. This is danger. This could make a person a cold-hearted robot instead of being human.

So how to be healthy emotionally? Ask God... :) And never ever act based on your feelings. You always end up regretting. Act according to the Word of God, and according to the right principles and virtues. Be an honorable person, respect others and respect yourself.

The quote of the day: Master your emotion, and not make emotion your master :)


With this....live life without regrets.
