I'm the captain now

How often in life have we all reacted towards something or someone, only later to regret our reaction and wished we would have been more mindful and thought things through before reacting? How many times have you left feeling like crap because of how your were treated or talked to by someone? Then the question is "Are You the Captain of Your Soul"?

When you are the captain of your soul you are capable of being in control of your emotions and mindset. You are able to realize that you have control over how you react and express yourself. You start to let go of the things that you have NO control over. Whether it is someone else's behavior towards you. The meeting that was cancelled at the last minute. The person who cut you off while driving. Or the boss who decided to take his or her bad day out on you.

The only real control you have is with in yourself. You control how you react and behave to anyone and any situation. Every situation you find yourself involved in has a ton of variables that you can do absolutely nothing about, except how you react. How you choose to react is a direct reflection on yourself and who you are as a person. We can help to influence these situations, but ultimately we have no control over each situation.

When you are the captain of your soul you react in a way that leaves you in control of your emotions. You start to care about the things that bring positive value to your life. You start to leave behind the things and people who bring negative value to your life like they did in the past.

Of course being the captain of your soul is not easy work. We are human beings and we have emotions. Sometimes these emotions are strong and powerful. Sometimes they can become overwhelming. This is where we can start to lose control over our reactions. In order to overcome this overwhelming sensation, you must practice your control daily. You must DO THE WORK needed to be the captain of your soul. Look inward towards yourself, breath. Reach for the self awareness within you and use it to create the positive changes in your life. Become "The Captain of Your Soul"
