Cooler Heads Prevail... So, Prevail.

We live in a world where the majority of people are very quick to react. They’re either waiting to get offended or curse and swear at their current situation.

In Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’, his very first line was “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you,”… “Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it.”

Simply put, don't be quick to anger or become overly emotional. Do not make decisions because your being rushed or because your pissed off. Far too many people to count have been to prison because they lost their minds for just a second and did something they regretted.

Do your absolute best to get rid of any unfavorable situations(crazy ex-girlfriend or boyfriend, living situation, etc.) so that you can keep peace in your life and a level head. If you’re struggling to break out of a poor situation or place in life, don’t curse yourself and give up on your goal.

When you feel like you failed yourself, take a deep breath and stay focused. Analyze what went wrong and fix what you can. Don’t run around looking for someone else to blame. Do you truly want to be successful in life? Then make it your nature to rein in your emotions and stay cool, because it's a skill you must have.

The same boiling water that softens potatoes hardens eggs. It’s all about what you’re made of, not your circumstances.
