The thing is, Sam, I'm an emotional person. When the emotion is strong it feels the same as truth and it compels me. That's great when I feel love with a person who loves me back, that's what makes living so awesome. But there are other times when it hurts me or those I love, if I act on an emotion before I've seen things through the eyes of other people. So over time I learned how to question these emotions, the negative feelings and suspicions, rather in the same way I learned how to lucid dream. In the moment of negativity and entitlement I asked myself one simple question, "How would this look if I were a fly on the wall?" Then I can take a step back for a fraction of a second, enough to regain self control - maybe not fully, but better. It's made my life so good, embracing the positive and questioning the negative. It's smart. I'm a better friend, partner and relative.
