Just the other day I got to know that there is a vast difference between emotions and feelings.
Emotions are what we emote to, they are reactions and are often negative. On the other hand, feelings are what we feel, they come from within us and are often positive.
Simply put, when we emote it is out of external conditionalities; whereas when we feel it is out of internal processes.
It is no wonder then that we often are stressed, disturbed and anxious; this is due to the reason that we emote and do not feel. If we stop emoting and start feeling; and acting not reacting, we might lead a happier life.
Reactions stem from hurt, anger, pain and all negative emotions. Actions arise from hope, faith, patience and all positive feelings.
So this day on, I will strive to be an actor in my life, and not a reactor which can explode at any moment.
