When we are afraid, angry, uncomfortable with, or not resolved with our past, it has the power to control us, (thus we are no longer in charge, we are the slave). Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated, “ Be not the slave of your own past. To emote and to work toward emotional regulation is part of the human condition. In moments like this, you might say we’re not exhibiting emotional intelligence. Simultaneously (and somewhat ironically), we cannot always see ourselves clearly.įor example, this explains why it sometimes takes someone else’s observation for us to identify our emotions. Your journey within is one of healing and discovery.Įach of us gets to experience our own inner world, making it impossible for outsiders to ever see things as we do.
