When we toss a ball against a wall, the ball strikes the wall and bounces back to us. When we react without thinking to what others say to us, we are like a ball tossed against the wall. The moment, we stop reacting and take control of our emotions, the person speaking to us no longer can toss us against the wall. We’ve shown that we can choose how and when we want to respond.

What If . . .
What if I acknowledged my fears and went ahead anyway? That’s courage. Some call it facing your fears. I think it’s a bit more than facing one’s fears. In acknowledging my fears, I take ownership for them. When I go ahead in spite of my fears, I take control of them. My fears may hang around, but they won’t control me.

Today’s Good Word ~ Control
Do you control your emotions or do your emotions control you? When we find a peaceful place where we can examine our emotions objectively we have the opportunity of controlling our emotions and choosing the outcome. Decide whether your emotions will create a positive outcome or a negative outcome. Become the master of your emotions. You are in control.
A Better Life ~ Decide for Yourself
Don’t let anyone pull your chain. Decide for yourself what is right or wrong or what isn’t worth your time. When we allow others to flick the switches to our emotions we forfeit control to them. Block out negative forces. Embrace those forces which want your best.
