Don’t Be Afraid to Feel Emotion

Do not be ashamed to feel different kinds of emotion. To feel emotion is human. Love, desire, anger, jealousy, disappointment, sadness and fear are only a few of the emotions we experience in life. It is alright to cry.

But, don’t let these emotions cause you to do destructive or irresponsible acts. You can feel an emotion as long as it doesn’t cause you to do sinful behavior. Do not act on emotions that are destructive. Emotions are motivators. Make sure they cause you to do positive actions rather than destructive ones.

If you are in love, work on developing a skill that will impress the person you are courting. If you are jealous, work on obtaining something similar to what causes your jealousy. If you are angry, try talking out your problem with your opponent. If you are sad, try spending time with people you love and appreciate the blessings you have. If you are afraid, be brave and confront your fear or try using a new strategy to open your mind to new possibilities. Sometimes taking what you perceive as a risk will free you from your cage of fear. If you are happy, share your happiness with others.

Do not hold onto negative emotions in your mind for a long time. Clear your mind and re-focus your thoughts on something else. Control your emotions by not thinking constantly about them. If you feel sexual desire for someone inappropriate, re-focus your thoughts and do not act on them.

Let go of emotions that can hurt you. Holding onto negative emotions for a long time is destructive to your physical health and your mental health. Forgive people with whom you are angry. Show compassion to those who do hurtful things. Be brave when you are afraid. People who intimidate are weak and lazy in their hearts and will not keep bullying if they see you are strong. The mean games of the world can only be played if both sides are participating.

Count your blessings if you are sad. It is easy to forget the good things in life, so we must be grateful for them. Never let despair drive you to self-harm. The world is never as dark as you think. There are always people who love you. Talk about your feelings with someone. More people around you are experiencing the same problems than you think or they have been watching you and are aware of your burdens. You are never truly alone.

Competition

Competition can be good. It drives you to better yourself. If keeps you fit. If reminds you that you have to earn the things you want. But, don’t let if drive you to contempt.

Remember, that everyone had basic needs that need to be met. There has to be a way people can share resources in a society. A way that people who can’t compete very well due to illness or other afflictions can obtain the things to be productive members in their society.

Wisdom and Gifts

Wisdom and Gifts Wisdom is knowing if you should accept help from people who offer it. Whether it is a gift or a favor or a service, help usually comes at a price.

Wishful Thinking and False Rescue

Jan 14, 2018 Wishful Thinking and False Rescue If you feel trapped and hope for someone to help you, be careful. Not all opportunities are good opportunities. They can turn out to be traps. When you feel desperate, it is difficult to see the potential problems that can result from a decision. Wishful thinking can be hard to resist. But, you must carefully consider how your life will change if you choose to accept help from someone. Think about what you are willing to give that person and what that person expects from you. Sometimes, enduring the current arrangement is a better choice, because you can bring better things into your life if you keep working a little longer and keep to a long-term goal. You create your own hope when you are your own leader. When you control your surroundings and follow a plan, you have more stability and feel more secure.
