Honor your emotions
November 15, 2017
Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today’s full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today’s dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow’s bloom, so, too, does today’s sadness carry the seed of tomorrow’s joy.
— Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World
Honor your emotions; they are an important part of you. They hold your connection to love, passion, joy, healing, and intuition.
Not having emotions would make us cold robots. Emotions are part of the glory of being human, and they’re our connection to our hearts.
Respect and treasure your emotional self. Learn to cherish your variety of emotions.
God, help me become the passionate, vibrant human being you created me to be. Help me feel all my emotions, and embrace the glory of being alive.
From the book: More Language of Letting Go
