Our emotions are integral part of our humanity. It is important, however, not to get stuck on the first base on our emotions. Being mature means that we do not make decisions or respond negatively because our emotions. Making an emotional homerun involves working through our emotions; being introspective (looking inwardly at ourselves); doing our best and letting go of the rest; having integrity and character no matter what others are doing; and making sure we do not speak while we are in a fragile emotional state. The good news is that emotions are fleeting and regularly change. This means that bad emotions can be transformed into good ones. We must understand that we can control what emotions dominate our minds. We can elevate our thinking and emotions by being grateful, choosing to focus on the positive instead of the negative, and shift our focus from worrying about what others are doing and deal with ourselves, the one thing we can truly control.
