More on Feelings!

Feelings are your inner perception, of your outer situations, feelings are indicators that let you know whether or not you're on the right course, a sign that change has taken place or will take place.

Some people use their feelings as a way of life, what do I mean? I mean they lean into their feelings, they focus and live based on how they are feeling. This is backwards. One day they're up, the next day they're down, basically just blowing in the winds of life. Living as victims of circumstances.

Sadness for instance is an indication that things didn't go as you had planned, for most they will hug their sadness, take it by the hand and walk around with it for days, weeks, months,even years. They entertain the sadness by continually thinking about what went wrong, some people will put on sad music to cry to, people will even look for others to share the experience of what made them sad so others can be sad for them; prolonging sadness's stay... Let sadness go, it has already done its job, it came to let you know things did not go the way you had initially expected.

You're not supposed to do the tango with your feelings. They are indicators. So how should we use our feelings? First of all you must understand that you are a creator, you create from your mind, you do this by developing pictures of what you expect or want to happen and as this happens you naturally begin working to bring what you saw into your outer reality most people do not realize that this is what they do; as a man thinketh so is he, in other words as a man envisions that's the ways his life will be.

Your feelings were designed to let you know you need to go, slow down, or stop. Control your destiny by going by what you know. Get in a place where instead of reacting to your feelings, you're able to step on the outside of what you feel and examine what's going on that caused the feeling and act accordingly. This is called self control.
