Embrace your feelings like a sailor embraces the wind:

Time and time again you see twitter accounts say

"control your emotions, control your life" (Or something similar)

We're not robots, emotions should be embraced

Not sure what I mean? I'll explain

Wind and Sailor Analogy:

Feelings are like the wind in a sail for a sailor

You need the wind to navigate

1. If you resist, you will lose complete control

2. If you let it overtake your navigation, you will end up at a different destination than you want

You need to work with the wind in order to navigate to your desired destination.

How To Use The Analogy:

You must be aware of your feelings and work with them

They are as much a part of your life as the wind is to a sailor

1, Ignoring our feelings results in a loss of control – you tend to realize this loss of control when you reach your maximum tolerance

2. You cannot let your feelings overtake you

For example, you may not like helping a someone, but you know it’s the right thing to do and you'll feel happier for it

You might not want to work out right now, but you know it will feel better in the long run

You have to navigate our feelings to get to where you intend to be

They are your guide, so you must be aware of them and get a true understanding of them in order to make the right decision

In short

Do not ignore your feelings. Ride them like a sailor rides the wind

Let them help guide you, but do not let them take over
