When someone is doing something or is about to do something in a way we don t want it to be done and when we are not able to accept it we become angry. However when someone is doing something or is about to do something in a way we don t want it to be done and we are able to accept it we remain tolerant. When someone has something which we don t have or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are not able to accept it we become jealous. When someone has something which we don t have or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are able to accept it we get inspired. The emotional equation is quite simple. Something Acceptance Positive Emotion Something Non Acceptance Negative Emotion So it is not something or someone who is making us feel positive or negative but it is our acceptance or non acceptance of something or someone which is making us feel positive or negative. It isn t the world but the quality of our response to the world that determines the quality of our emotions. Next time we feel disturbed with a negative emotion instead of asking who or what is disturbing us we will examine who or what we are resisting not accepting that is causing this disturbance in us. If we replace resistance non acceptance with acceptance the negative emotion will turn into a positive one. Emotional management begins by stopping to blame that something or someone and starting to take the responsibility to respond life with acceptance
