I Thought Your Emotions Belonged to YOU?

                This topic has everything to do with your progress in life and or your non-progress in life. Emotions can be the spark to you making an irrational decision at a critical point in your life. I wanted to write about this topic because of the experiences that I’ve had and have witnessed as well. Just like most things in life, emotions have a good and bad side to them. The key thing is keeping them under control and not to influence your actions. Happy emotions can drive you to be too generous, be careless with valuable things, or just go too far with your excitement. Sad or angry emotions can lead to jail, death, hurt, or hurting someone else. Emotions have been made out to be uncontrollable for many people, but I am here to tell you it is extremely easy to control your emotions.
 
                      You must know who you are and be self-secure to be able to handle your emotions in this rough and tough life. If you don’t take the time to sit on your ass and get a better understanding for who you are and what you can handle, your ass will be in a very bad situation. Men worst emotion is anger, it always leads to something life changing. The excuse is then “I was angry”. The dumbest thing you can say to a judge, police officer, or someone you hurt mentally or physically is that anger is the reason for your actions. Children sometimes get away with this excuse because they aren’t fully developed and haven’t lived enough life to know anything about controlling emotions. As an adult that excuse doesn’t fly, EVER. The excuse I love the most is “I was drunk” HAHAHAHAH!!! What in the hell do you mean you were drunk? As an adult, you don’t know your limit for alcohol consumption? Sounds like you shouldn’t drink if you have NO self-control with the bottle or even drugs.

                     Women seem to use their emotions as an excuse for everything. Men use it as well but from my experience women take the “I was emotional” excuse to the next level. Yes, I know “that’s just how women are”. How long is this going to be excusable? I personally think women should rule and own this world but their emotions get in the way of the taking over the world. Men do everything in this world for women, well at least most men. When a guy buys a car the first thing he says is “the ladies are going to go crazy for this”. When he decorates his house it’s for women’s comfort. Getting his hair cut, nice clothes, the good job, working out, and the list can go on forever. I don’t want women to be heartless and lose that nurturing characteristic but stop falling in love with attention, money, material things, or good looks. All those things are great but what is his character and his views on life? I hate to bring this one up but “THAT TIME OF THE MONTH” is one of the biggest excuses for irrational emotions. Stop being angry or sad and then you say “it’s that time of the month”. So, your brain stops working and you can’t control yourself because of this? I honestly think that because it has been said and talked about so much that it is hard not to use it as an excuse for acting irrational.
 
                          There is no excuse for acting out of character as an adult. I have nothing but respect for women, mental and emotional dis-orders, and children, but you need to take ownership of your emotions and that goes for men and women. No human being can make you angry, sad, happy, or anything else. Your reaction is all up to you. Stop it with the excuses, because we all know it is bullshit. It may take time but your progress in life depends on it. You will feel better and the feeling of having full control of your life will be amazing. Know that you have self-control and when you find yourself losing it find someone to talk to or whatever your therapy may be. Let’s be great and influential in this life and actually own the one thing we actually own and that’s our mind and body.
