Like a sheep being led astray, our emotions have the ability to show our lives the path it needs to take. Every living being has it and that is what makes us different from the non-living. Perhaps it is the thin line that we have been told separates success from failure; perhaps it is a lie but you will not be far from the truth when you believe our emotions can make or unmake us
Travelling down memory lanes where fantasy eludes reality, where thoughts touch imaginations the greatest of men were those who had the learned ability of taming their emotions. The greatest asset these men possessed wasn’t only the ability to tame something as restless as emotions but the wisdom to dictate the pace and time their emotions were unleashed. This was what set them apart from their colleagues
Courage is not always the absence of fear but courage stands tall even in the midst of fear. You can be brave and lack courage but you cannot have courage and not be brave. The two when combined effectively is a weapon but when mixed in wrong proportions is a “time-bomb”. The future has no business with reality and that is why courageous and brave people learn to check their emotions. To them it isn’t just a feeling but a decision, it is not just a thought but an idea and it is not just a journey but a destination
Many find themselves in situations because they failed to put a brake on emotions when it accelerated. Many are not where they are supposed to be because they allowed their emotions get the better part of them. The funny but bizarre aspect of emotions is that it allows both the good and the bad to flow out of it bellies. Love and anger can co exist in that world, hatred and caring can be neighbors in that world. People who strive to succeed knows about it duality but they are wise enough to tame what they don’t want at a particular time and release what they want. They are critical of the environment they are placed in and align their wants to meet the needs of the said environment.
Discipline and self control have been touted as the greatest checkmate to emotions. Strangely these two are naturally in built in every human so why are we losing the war against our emotions. There is no powerful solution than willingness; training the mind to overlook immediate pleasures and see everlasting pleasures.
You cannot live without emotions, your being is full of it and it is what makes you a living thing. What you must learn is how to tame it, when to tame it and how to release it if it has to be unleashed. Never allow emotions dictate the direction and pace at which your life should move. People in the past we applaud today were those who controlled their emotions. People who will be applauded in the future are those who control their emotions today.
I hear applauses from the future; make sure you are the reason
