Welcome back. I’m Nino Prodan. And this is the smashes system podcast. Yesterday I left off telling you about how I contained my anger, and grew my relationships because of it. But I also paid a consequence. And it was my health. But it wasn’t only my health, there was also a fire to life, that I lost a little edge that I had. And it was a part of me that. if I could harness without losing my control to it could benefit everybody. And I realized this as I started learning to understand my anger, I talked about how I began coaching. Well, I began training to be a coach. And it was during that time that I started to learn to understand my anger. instead of pushing it down and trying to control it. I started to learn to listen Because my anger was a part of me, it is a part of me. It’s a part of everyone. It’s an indicator, a barometer of a situation. See, all our emotions are like the gauges in a cockpit. They’re telling us what’s going on in the world around us. What’s the climate, what’s the wind speed, it’s telling us about our environment. And if we start to learn to listen, if we learn to harness the input from our emotions, you start to understand the world around us better. You start to understand ourselves better. And we also start to take control of our decisions. I learned that I no longer had to surrender control of myself to my emotions. Once I learned to harness the knowledge, I was able to act the way I wanted to. Not letting someone else control the way I acted. Not letting a situation control the way I acted, but choosing consciously how to act. My anger no longer was my enemy. It became my friend to inform me when something’s going wrong, and help energize me to deal with situations when it was necessary. I learned to listen to my emotions. That way I could use them to be a better person to be the person that I would idolize. And it all started with listening to my emotions. I’m Nino Prodan, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
