Take Care Of Your Emotions II, Contributed By @Olawalium
…continued… from part 1
You need to learn the art of mastering your emotions. If you manage your emotions, you will earn more respect too. There are some people you can’t respond to. You don’t have to reply to every name calling; be sure they are defining themselves and not you. You can’t give attention to everyone and stop allowing others to drag you to their low levels and always learn to rise above it.
I heard about a situation in a WhatsApp group and it warmed my heart. For the sake of reference, I would give names to these two women. Linda asked a question in a WhatsApp group and Comfort replied the question that was asked. The moment Linda saw the reply; she tagged it and called Comfort an idiot. A statement like this would always strike a chord in anyone who fails to manage their emotions and it would end up being a ‘war zone’.
Comfort saw the reply and abuse and thanked her for pointing her to the idiotic part of her which she never knew existed and she promised to work on it to be better from that time on. They have close to 200 people in that WhatsApp group and when everyone saw that matured response from Comfort, they were so impressed and they started pouncing on Linda for calling another person ‘an idiot’. They all pounced on her so much that she had to leave that WhatsApp group.
An hour later, she called Comfort and apologized for speaking with such derogatory words and from then on they became friends. Comfort is a marriage counsellor and shortly after, during the year, Comfort handled the premarital counselling session for Linda. Exactly after a year, Linda and her husband gave Comfort a gift worth 1.2 Million Naira (Nigerian currency). There are so many lessons to pick up from this scenario.
