Creed vs Feelings....How Are You Living Your Life?

I get we all have feelings and emotional responses to things that happen in our lives – we are human beings…..we all have good days and bad days, maybe even bad weeks or months……we can’t live life on that roller coaster of how we feel at any given moment. We can’t treat people on a daily basis based on how we feel that day.  We also can’t suppress our feelings and emotions and just suck it up buttercup. I saw this quote by Stephen Covey a few days ago: “Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.” My 1st thought….how do you want your employees to treat your worst customers, when you are having a bad day? Take cops…who are our best customers? How do we treat people on our worst day? How about in family lives? Our faith lives? If we let how we feel rule how we act, we are in for some really rough times. Sometimes we need to learn how to control or manage our feelings before they drag us down into the depths of depression or despair.
