Take Care Of Your Emotions V, Contributed By @Olawalium
…continued… from part 1 and part 2 and part 3 and part 4.
I heard the story of a popular figure in Nigeria that said he travelled out of the country to go and watch Manchester United vs Manchester City (the Manchester derby) and he mentioned how much it cost him to do that on Twitter. A lot of people applauded him and wished they can be in his shoes while a lot of people bashing him. You could have read it and passed. The information added nothing to your life so you could have chosen to give no reply to what he said but some chose to reply.
Lack of emotional control will always allow you to speak when you are not expected to. The information added nothing to me, so I don’t have to respond to it. Why would you choose to involve yourself in things that would get you angry? In life, you need to learn to choose your battles carefully.
If you pay attention to what people are saying every time, then you won’t go far. We try to impress people and be put in a better light with them. We care too much about what others think of us. We were not created to impress others. The clear path to failure is when someone tries to impress others.
Never try to impress anyone because everyone will always have an opinion. Everyone will always want to have a say in your life. Humans are selfish in nature and when something doesn’t look like what they like or who they are, they feel the need to attack it and feel that thing is not good enough. Whatever others don’t like is never good enough. Stop trying to live for others and impress them. Be your own person and learn to know the season for speech and silence.
Take good care of your body. Eat properly. It is not the quantity that matter but the quality. Exercise your body to live healthy and strong. Take adequate rest and sleep as at when due. Concern yourself with these and stop bothering with how you are going to impress those who might not even be bothered that you were there. Always learn to mind your own business. Be in charge of your emotions because it will determine the course of your life.
…THE END…
Thank you for your time.
