Just tonight, I was reminded by a dear friend to "be a bottle of water and not a bottle of soda".

In life, it's just so much easier to be the latter; to react negatively and not respond positively to unfavorable situations that we cross path with. Just like a bottle of water or soda, the world's gonna shake you and rattle you in almost every opportunity it could, and when you choose to be more of a soda, you'll likely explode the moment you open up, as compared to water, who'll be the same calm water before it was shook or rattled.

Us, being the master of our own selves has the power and the control over how we respond to different situations. That being said, we are in control of the allowable extent of how other people and this world can affect or influence us, our behavior, our values and beliefs. When we let others control our emotions, we're like allowing them to program us to be just like them. While it's not necessarily bad at all times especially when you have great people to surround you that inspires you to be a better version of yourself everyday; having people full of hate and insecurities surround you may just the same make you hateful and insecure.

I'm going to end this reflection with a quote by Pema Chodron which I stumbled upon a few days ago, "Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions". When you're finally in control of your self, what could go wrong? 😉😅❤️
