Our emotions are our inner world.
You are free to accept compliments, gifts, smiles, whether you are treated kindly or not, insults and more, and you are also free to refuse to accept. Behind everything is your choice.
You choose how you feel. Open to the World, Love or close in yourself, carefully letting in someone and something.
Will you focus on the virtues, on the bright, the good, and see the light in everything, and will you benefit from any situation?
Can you turn light into darkness, focusing on the negative, on shortcomings, hiding from the world, from pain, just as you can hide in the shade on a sunny day?
In everything, your choice of what to feel, you choose only yourself. If you are sad - be sad, if you want to be happy - rejoice, if you want to be alone - be alone with yourself, if it hurts, plunge into your pain, do not run away from your feelings.
Let yourself let in all the colors of life, because its artist is you yourself!
