Have I ever accomplished anything good while my emotions were churning w hysteria? Am I aware that reacting on impulse- saying the first thing that pops into my head-defeats my own purpose? I couldn’t lose by stopping to think… Easy Does it. Wouldn’t any crisis shrink to manageable size if I could wait a little while to figure out what is best to do? Unless I am sure I am pouring oil on troubled waters, and not on a raging fire, it might be best to do and say nothing until things calm down.
Today’s Reminder – It might take a bit of self control to back away from conflict and confusion. But it’s wonderful protection for my peace of mind. Unless I can say or do something to quell the storm, I’ll only be inflicting punishment on myself. And each little battle I win-with myself- makes the next one easier. Take it Easy, for Easy Does It. It will seem much less important tomorrow.
Someone said once…. “Quietness is a GREAT ally, my friend. As long as you keep your poise, you will do nothing to make matters worse. “What great words to live by. Stay Poised & Stay Well.
