Things that matters....

I am following this precise advice. 

I learned a lesson this weekend. And it didn't come easily. So instead of letting you make my mistakes without knowing the consequences, I am going to tell you what I did, and hopefully you can learn from my experiences. Because trust me. You want to. 

Many things happens in life. Things that we never see coming, and things that were never meant to happen in the first place. You can't control everything. Sometimes, I find that it is almost impossible to even control ourselves. Especially our emotions. They are one of the biggest  problems. Happiness, sadness, everything else in between until you hit the worst ones. Anger and Jealousy. They are the worst emotions that humans have in my opinion, and since the lesson comes from being angry this week, I am going to focus more on that, and leave Jealousy for next time. 


Why do humans get angry? What's the reason for it? It doesn't do us any good when we get angry or upset. It just makes things worst. So why in the world do our emotions always get away from us whether we want them to or not? How much difference does it really make when we are angry, verses to when we are calm and clearheaded? This question can have two answers. It can make a lot of difference, but mostly always for the worst, and in the end, it really had no impact at all. 

Some of the things we get angry about really doesn't matter compare to all the other things in this world. For me, I know that sometimes when I do get upset or angry, there might not really be an reason for it at all!! It could of been only something very small, but because of my pride, I let my emotions get in the way. At the end of the day, that small little thing won't even matter compared to all the other things I have accomplished, and still yet to accomplish for the rest of my life. I/we, shouldn't really let tiny things, or misunderstandings get in our way of enjoying our day, and time here on this earth. Anything can be cleared up, and there are always solutions to problems. We don't always need to get angry at others. 

You know, I really like this one song that is in one of the Rascal Flatts album (btw, I really like this band). It is called "Things That Matters." It talks about this family of a father and daughter. I would explain the whole song to you, but because it's just so good, I want you to listen to it. I posted the song right here so you can listen to it with me. Take some time, and really pay attention to the words. And then think about yourself. Think about what I said tonight. Do the things that make us angry really matter in the long run? The answer I have for myself is no. 


Have you ever realize how much energy it actually takes to be upset at someone or something? It gets really tiring after a while. At the end of the whole experience, sometimes you just feel drained. I know I feel like that all the time. I spend all my time and energy being mad at this one small issue, and in the end, it wasn't really even important! 

And not only that! Have you realize how much trouble being angry gets you in? When you are angry, you start to defend yourself, and sooner or later, an argument starts. It happens all the time. At the end of that argument, you might of lost a friend, offended your boss, or even disappointed your parents. Was it worth it? Or will the consequences be worth it the next time you get upset? It might not always happen like that, but most of the time, there are always negative results to a temper tantrum. 

So, in the end, I just don't think getting angry is worth it, but somehow, it always happens!!! So how are we suppose to control it? What can we do to protect ourselves from the negative consequences? How do we stay in check at all times, and be able to stop something from happening before it happens? I don't really have a answer to that. But I do know this: 

........

Getting angry does nothing. It won't change a thing, and it surely isn't even worth it. It doesn't matter, and brings negative results that you never want to have to deal with. So the next time when you feel like your emotions are getting away from you, remember what I said tonight, and hopefully you won't repeat the same mistakes that I made this weekend. 


Just try your best. Nobody is perfect in everything that they do, and especially in controlling their emotions, but we call all try and do our Best! That's all it takes to make a difference in our lives. Trying, and Doing. And personally, I will add another one. REMEMBERING. Remember that it doesn't even matter, and remember that it surely isn't even worth it! Try your best!!! Because as always, I am. :) 


With all my love,
