“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.” – Warren Buffet
Warren Buffet is an extremely wise business man and he has a great point in this statement. Many of us have emotional reaction to words people say to us. However, it is important to realize and understand that is all they are, just words. Other people’s words have no bearing on who we are. In fact, what other people say says more about them than it does about us. On the other hand, our reactions say more about us than it does about what we are reacting too. It is so important to be able to control our thoughts and actions in everything we do so we do not allow our emotions to get the best of us. Next time you want to have an emotional reaction take a deep breath and decide if that is truly the course of action you would like to take.
Have you even had an emotional reaction to something someone said to you? Did you regret it? How did you feel afterwards? How can you break the habit so you do not repeat the cycle?
