Creating by not taking things personally

Do you ever have times where it’s hard to stay in control because someone else has really strong emotions and you are reacting to them?

I had the chance to really experience this today as my daughter yelled at me for not making her a smoothie correctly and ruining her life.

So you may wonder how I think that this is creating a life of joy and possibility. While all this was going on today I was able not to react to her emotions. I decided that expressing emotions is so important and can be useful if I find a better way to react to them. In always wanting to make things better for everyone I have really given emotions a powerful charge. Instead of doing this today I was able to let them just be the tool that they are and not take it personally.

I was able to create calm within a highly charged situation and this is the feeling that I want in my life. My daughter was even able to resolve the situation for herself in a calm way once her emotions were released.
