My Learnings….My Transformations

In the sway of emotions…

Man is a creature of emotions. Some of us are controlled by our emotions, while some of us are in control of our emotions. If we allow our emotions to control us, we will go through turmoil in life.

As mahatria says, “In the sway of emotions intelligence does not work. Hence, abstain from action and decision making in an emotional environment.”

Children back answer parents when they are angry, the husband shouts at the wife or vise-versa, when there is a disagreement, you also see angry outbursts in a traffic jam, parents use foul language when the security asks them not to park the vehicle in front of the school gate, and many such instances, that leave you wondering whether education makes any difference to the behavior of people.

Collecting a lot of information is called knowledge. Implementing that knowledge will lead to transformation.

When you get angry, just refrain from talking, if you cannot talk sensibly. You will be hurting others, or spoiling relationships or provoking others to retaliate. You cannot be rational in your thinking when you are angry.

This is a very big lesson that I learnt and it has helped me in many situations to remain cool. Of course, I have gradually grown into that state. I have understood the futility of losing my temper and screaming my head off as it will affect my body. Acid is secreted in your body when you get angry. Letting out words in anger without any control is called licentiousness, a behavior that is uncontrolled and socially unacceptable.

We invariably get angry only with those with whom we think we can get away with, right? Think about it. We will not get angry with our boss, as we may lose our job, or our landlord, who may chuck us out. Value every relationship.

Let us add fragrance to our environment and not move around like a garbage vehicle, that people wish to avoid. Next time someone provokes you, either leave the place or smile, or don’t react.

Work on it and one day you will be surprised to see your transformation. When so much good can come out of you, why bring out negativity. Not having the last word helps you win over your temper. And you will begin to look up to yourself.

It is great freedom when you outgrow your anger. It gives peace of mind not only to you, but to all those around you as well.

I would always like to be known for my grace and dignity and never be remembered for my foul temper and disgusting behavior. What about you?

Let me hear from you soon about your transformation. Begin today. Don’t postpone.
