Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life. -Anthony Robbins
When a person is willing to take control of their emotions instead of let their emotions take control of them, they will be bound for success. Overcoming your emotions is very difficult to do at first, especially since most of us are taught to use whatever we are feeling on the inside to determine how we act in each moment.
If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far. -Daniel Goleman
If we choose to wallow in self-pity, our lives will remain stationary. One thing about us as humans is that we are made with emotions. Some get confused about what emotions are really for, and think that they should let their emotional feelings determine what type of life that they will have. Instead of letting your emotions rule you, you have to be willing to let your emotions show you what they need to show you in order to make changes, instead of making you change.
I'd rather be the pain that you remember, rather than the love that you forget.
Refusing to be in a place with someone that you don't necessarily want to be with them in life can lead to hurting someone worse later on by doing the things that one is actually interested in doing, and being with the people that one is actually interested in being with. Remember that being the pain that someone remembers may not always work out best for you, and sometimes it is better for a couple to go their separate ways while they are still able to if they know in their hearts their isnt to be much of a future involved.
