My question is this...Do you let your emotions take control over you?  Do you identify AS your emotions?  There have been times in my life that I have literally felt posessed by my emotions...my anger, my resentment, my jealousy & my fears.  

I have recently declared that I am working on never being 'shook' by the outside world again.  By things that happen in life...stresses, disappointments, losses, etc.  This is a lifetime of work ahead of me but I will get better and better with everything I overcome.  

What do you do to strengthen yourself?
