Our greatest struggle may be control over our emotions.

All actions are actually reactions, based on our perceptions.

Our perceptions are always colored by our emotional state.

All reactions are partially acted out based on our emotions.

Control over emotion is a false struggle, as understanding emotion will show emotion is beyond our control.

Understanding our emotions allows us to best use them to our perceived benefit.

Suppressing emotion will not help us as much as understanding and using our emotions to our perceived benefit.

Mastering our understanding of emotion moves us beyond the struggle of controlling emotions, and allows us to react with intent and discipline.
