Choice of Emotion

Choice

We have several gifts but the most treasured of all is choice.
There is good and bad within each of us, and by emotions we let them have their way. We let them, the first choice! Emotions are a natural of the human make up but it is our choice on how we use them. We do not have to allow them to rule the way.

All life forms are based on survival.

These are the two primary emotions fear and contentment. We have a choice on how to best use the emotions. We know what we get from each emotion leaving them to be as they are, but what if we used fear… what if we used fear to serve us in a constructive way, by intelligent choice?

FEAR How to use fear to serve us in a constructive way…this is a question that I believe many of us our trying to tackle. All life has a first response to fear, and that is to recoil. What if, we did not recoil?

What tends to happen is we recoil and then lash back with emotional energy in one form or another. Usually the first emotional recoil is with stress or tension, and physical recoil. I am not about to suggest stand there while a train is coming and contemplate I think we know to move! But what if we did not react to fear from another being with stress or tension, and physical recoil? What if, we asked the simple question; why or what is wrong and addressed the answer with intelligence instead of emotional response?

Some time back I had a little family business. My oldest daughter would go out each day and get lunch at the corner store, the food was good. The owner for a period of time was not nice to her and she told me about it. I had choice I could go to the man and bark back or… So, I went with my daughter the following day as she went to order lunch. The man started right up nasty as could be, without emotion in my voice, not challenging, I softly asked “Sir, is there a problem here?” The atmosphere changed in the entire luncheonette with that one question, he immediately calmed down stating there was no problem and that was that. He did not ever realize he was being mean or nasty. He just needed a second to realize it.

• Fear leads to anger. Anger hurts the self and those around the self. What would happen if anger was used to build, clean, make improvements, or physical exercise; all constructive forces.
• Fear leads to anxiety, restlessness. What if that energy too was used in a constructive way?

Each person is unique unto themselves and how they choose to use the energies based from fear is and individual choice but managing them to the better of all seems like the right approach to me. Each negative emotion can be used as a personal building tool. Just think what it would be like exploring techniques to handle each emotion and share them with others. We would all gain!

There is no book on how to live life but what if there was…and we just weren’t seeing it?

Obstacle
ob•sta•cle
ˈäbstək(ə)l/
noun: obstacle; plural noun: obstacles
a thing that blocks one’s way or prevents or hinders progress.
synonyms: barrier, hurdle, stumbling block, obstruction, bar, block, impediment, hindrance, snag, catch, drawback, hitch, handicap, deterrent, complication, difficulty, problem, disadvantage, curb, check
antonyms: advantage, aid

Obstacles are merely challenges to greet and intelligently figure out and move forward. Each obstacle solved and shared is no longer an obstacle for the mass. The question becomes how to live in harmony and contentment. Each person has their own rhythm to follow, at their own pace and accepted as such, not rushed. We are caught up in rush sometimes far too often and miss the solutions or give ourselves time to consider choice.

We are meant from birth to explore discover and share openly our discoveries this is how we grow as an entities. We are all connected but it is with fear we are ruled over, instead of growing to one.
The earth is our garden we are the caretakers our one function is to take care of the garden and all things in it, making all content!

Have you ever noticed;
How you feel after you have helped someone else?
How you feel after being angry at someone else?
Did you ever wonder; WHY? Think about it today, please.
You will be amazed at what you will discover

We are the caretakers of the garden!

Throw a stone in a pond, watch the ripple hit the shoreline and back to the center again, this is how we touch each others life.

Explore and discover and share the secrets that lay within.

It’s our unique differences that make the colors within this beautiful fabric we call society

We are at the threshold of an awakening of sorts freewill the shift is happening before our eyes it might be subtle but it is happening; a shift is taking place with the earth, another shift with humanity, our discovery if you would. There is right and wrong love and hate good and evil; the line between them is clearer every day. It is time to redefine self and stand where you may and be counted, but know and do what side you are on.
