One of the Most Important think we can Learn IS............
be in control our own emotions and not allow them to be in control of us...
We need to learn that we have the ability to calm our fears without needing others to do it. We need to learn how to do that for ourselves and not depend on or give power to others to do so. We do not need to KNOW all the answers NOW, they may not in fact be available to us, sometimes there are things going on behind the scenes that we are not yet aware of that can change in an instant. If we learn to be calm and have faith no matter what is thrown at us and let the dust settle before going into fear panic mode, as what *IS* now might not be in a minute, hour, day, week or even month....
We need to know that what is going on is not necessarily about us all the time. The way people react towards us is a combination of *their* experiences, their life history and while they may do and say things to hurt us, that may not in fact may have not been their intention, their intention may have been to protect themselves.....
We need to know that we cannot control what others do and what we can control is our REACTION to it.
We need to not read into every WORD or ACTION as being negative towards us and need to learn NOT to try to control or manipulate others simply because we fear that they have power over us since we care about them, we cannot dictate how others act towards us...
It's a learning curve we are all on but learning to control our emotions is the biggest and best step towards a happier, emotionally healthy life we all deserve......
