Affirmation for April 21, 2010: Joseph Farrell
If you go in for argument, take care of your temper. Your logic, if you have any, will take care of itself.
- Joseph Farrell
Thought of the day:
Temper, temper. If everyone who had differing opinions would just keep their emotions in check, every argument, every yelling match, perhaps even wars, would just be discussions. But we are humans, and we do lose our tempers.
It's often hard to detect, but if ever you are in a quarrel with someone, especially a loved one, and you feel that heat of emotion rise to your cheeks, instead of letting it loose and yelling it out, take a moment. Keep your lips sealed. Force that anger into your brain where it can be processed, rationalized. Let empathy kick in and let good sense, another human trait, keep things in perspective.
Your relationships will be the better for it, and so will your own peace of mind.
Have a serene day!
