Often times I disregard my emotions when doing things hard or something I’d rather not do. Often times I need to control my reaction and react in a rational way then in an emotional way. Its natural to react with emotions and to let them control us, we are only human at the end of the day. However, the strong men, the man I want to be is one who has mastery over his emotions and moves calmly and steadily through all situations. Emotional control is a common trait among men you and I admire. Here’s a real world example that I used today. I’m currently writing this page on post on the military base I reside, I need to stay here for 16 hours. Its easy to let my mind drift into damnit this sucks! I’m tired of being treated like trash! 16 hours is outrageous! I don’t even have time to train today, my entire day is work. But, no its not wise to spiral like this and while the truth is this situation does suck but it can not be as bad through mental fortitude and resilience. This situation will come to an end and the best thing I can do right now is be patient. Tomorow will be a better day. I hate the military and the current contract that I’m in. But the mindset I have chosen is of taking it one day at a time with the knowledge that all of the struggle I have now is making me strong. I know this is the path god wants me to be on. Thanks be to god for the struggle that he has given me for I know he has chosen me to be strong. Maybe he has chosen you too, blessed are your struggles.
