HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS



This would guide you on how to control your emotions towards your
better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you.

The rules of practicing ' ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya ':



#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng
galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.



#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil
din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.



#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan,
so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil
wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.



#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito... because the
Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila
alam ang kanilang ginagawa."

Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get
angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are
jewel, because you need them for you to mature.

Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa.
God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad
feelings towards them.



You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis
sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have
patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this
person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA
MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD. Hehehe

Why Women Cry...

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put prayed to God who would surely know the answer.

When God responded he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said: "When I made the woman she had to be to be made special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet

gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure

childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I

gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else

gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

gave her the sensitivity

to love her children under any and all

circumstances, even when her child

has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to

carry her husband through

his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect

his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his

wife, but sometimes tests

her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And lastly, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers and only hers

exclusively to use whenever she needs it.

She needs no reason, no explanation, its hers."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman

is not in the clothes she

wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she

combs her hair.The

beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because

that is the doorway to

her heart - the place where love resides."

[size=18px]HE says YES & gives you what you want.

HE says NO and gives you BETTER.

HE says WAIT & gives you the BEST EVER [/size]
