Stop throwing daggers at others. Your mood is not their fault. Calm down and talk yourself into being at peace with your emotions. It’s ok to have feelings. You’re human after all.

You need to be in balance and in control to make sure you’re getting things done that need your attention.

You can even make the wrong move when you’re overwhelmed by glee, passion or excitement. So be cautious. Continue reading →
