Feel whatever you choose.
But you might want to reconsider working so diligently to make your feelings match your circumstances.
But you might want to reconsider working so diligently to make your feelings match your circumstances.
Realize instead that you can select and direct your feelings.
There's no law that says you must harbor feelings of disappointment, dismay, anger and futility when events don't go your way.
You can just as easily feel amused, enlightened and more inspired than before.
You can use your feelings to prolong a difficult situation.
Or you can choose other feelings that will enable you to transcend your difficulties and move forward.
Just ask yourself whether you would rather be imprisoned by your feelings or empowered by them.
From moment to moment, you are constantly choosing which feelings to hold on to and which ones to discard.
Be ever mindful of this power that is yours..

Feelings.... whoa, whao, whao, feeelings... C;)
empowered rather than imprisoned, please - but it's one of those learning curve deals. . .
. . .for me, anyhow
thanks for the reminder

Outstanding post, Mel!
And so appropriate too!
About two nights ago, I was talking to my mother on the phone, and we sharing about this very thing.
You can use your feelings to prolong a difficult situation.

Right on!
Thanks Mel!
And thanks faries!
Happy Tuesday!

Amazing. You seem to be reading my mind, all the time.
this is very true...
sometimes it is important to address why you are having certain feelings...so that you don't squash them down...and have them surface again unexpectedly...
