Be Emotional, Be Calm

You've seen the movie "Inside Out", haven't you? It's got great philosophy in it. I'm not talking too much about that movie tonight but I do want to get into emotions, how to control them and the result of doing so.

Human beings are emotional. We feel so much, suppress it and get lost with ourselves. If you're happy, sad, angry, disgusted.... whatever, be it! Do not hide it because it'll make you sick! THEY ARE ALL NECESSARY.

We are complicated. Life, however, is simple and we can decide how it is. No matter an optimistic, pessimistic or other kinds, everyone wants to have a happy life but that's why a lot of us aren't getting it. You can't just have it. You have to live it.

To live a happy life does not mean doing only things that make you thrilled. You need to have joy in your heart first in order to achieve true happiness. Keep it with you until it follows you. The good news is that it isn't rocket science and you can practice it. Just be calm. Yes, be calm. Embrace the outcomes with your emotions but obtain calamity afterwards, accept it. This does not mean being passive or giving up. In fact, it's about choices. If something terrible happens, react and handle it; if something great happens, own it because you deserve it. Be emotional all you want but know when to stop and focus on what's in front of your eyes.

"Sometimes without sadness, there's no joy"

Being happy is important. Nonetheless, we must not confuse that with only "feeling happy". We ought to take care of all emotions, we ought to be complete persons. That means we need to at least be able to feel them all. Too much on one side, even happiness, can ruin the whole mind.

What I believe is not that I've achieved completely so but I'm pretty sure that I'm on the way there. I'm only human. Things sometimes get out of control and that's okay because they're being examined. As those moments become less frequent, we can finally concentrate on what's really important, our goals in life.
