Emotions: A Remote Control?

What is emotion?

It is a feeling which comes from someone. We all know that it is our own feeling like sadness, happiness, anger etc. So why am I telling you this?

It happens many times always that because of someone we get happy or become angry or sad. We want someone to make us happy to change our mood. We mostly don’t enjoy our own company we want someone for our entertainment.

I don’t understand that why we want someone for our mood swings? Why are we giving them the key to controlling our emotions?

Let’s take an example of a most common thing which is a relationship. People cry over the breakups. Most common in today’s generation. Why are YOU crying because of someone else, you should be happy that the person who never cared about you is no longer part of your life. Is your heart so delicate that it can be broken by anyone? I don’t think so!

We get easily angry at someone for their act why are we spoiling our mood for someone else. It means that anyone whom we don’t know or recognize can easily spoil our mood.

We often need someone to make us happy or we need a company which can entertain us. Why are we not satisfied within ourselves? The best company of a person is it’s own. He only knows what is going inside him, he knows his habits and nature. I don’t support the idea that you should cut yourself from society. Being social is as important as meditation and yoga. But it is very much important to love yourself and you like spending some time together with yourself. It is better to spend some ‘ME TIME’ rather than spoiling and changing and giving remote control of our emotions to others.

We often tend to change our nature, our passion, our ambition, or our habits according to society but had we ever thought that different people have different views, thoughts, and experiences, everyone in this whole world has a different mindset. Some oppose some ideas, some support and some are who don’t want to change. If we think that what people will say then we can not do anything of our own. If you change your way of thinking because the people near you like your friends your family then what is the assurance that people other than these will support that idea. It is best if you listen to the voice inside you and do what you want to do, take ideas from society but don’t ever try to change yourself if you ever tend to do so then you will also become a part of the crowd that I am sure you don’t want to be!

Don’t try to change, love yourself because you are the best, and most important don’t give the remote of your emotions to others!
