Emotion is the chief "commodity" of selfishness. For the ego to survive apart from God, it must create scenes during which it can "trade" emotions. - Roy Masters
“To avoid all these unpleasant
repercussions, you must learn how to be patient with selfish and thoughtless
people. You must learn to remain poised and calm under pressure; otherwise,
what is wrong in them will show up in you and make you look like the bad guy.
Then, everyone is so surprised with your emotional overreaction that they fail to see what they did wrong to provoke that reaction—and that in turn becomes another unjust, upsetting, frustrating, and scary experience for you.

Emotional self-control is the key you are seeking. You very
life depends on your responding in a right way to what is wrong with you, so
that it cannot get inside and rip you apart.
Your main line of defense is to stay
calm and patient. Seeing you unmoved, the motivator’s tactics backfire on him.
He or she becomes upset, loses power, and panics.
The game is over. So learn to put up an invisible, impenetrable force shield of calm patience around you. It will allow the good to come through, but will stop the ugly world from getting in and growing up inside you to control your destiny.

Instead of reacting with upset, what if you could
learn to look injustice straight in the eye, without flinching—patiently,
calmly and with endless endurance? Surely then you would not have the problems
of repressing or expressing resentment. You would be in control. This then is
the basis for a truly enlightened stress-reduction program: learning the secret
of self-control through patience.” http://jahtruth.net/yodas.htm

Choosing peace – by
Lawrence Wilson.
“CHOOSING
PEACE
Another
aspect of letting go that is often overlooked is a decision that must accompany
letting go. It is to consciously choose to be at
peace within. Since
this is a bit complex, I want to explain it carefully. First, let us examine this in more
detail. It means a
deliberate choice to be at peace all of the time, not just when things are
going well and life is fun. Also, it means choosing for peace even if it
hurts – and it will hurt at times.
For
example, it can mean giving up the sweet feeling of revenge against friends and
others who appear to slight you or harm you. It can mean walking away from a
situation in which you could choose to fight back. Of course, sometimes fighting is the
correct response, but it must be done from a place of peace within. This is the key, and it is not an easy
thing to understand. Jesus
of Nazareth called this idea “the peace
that passeth all
understanding”. In
other words, it must come from within. It
is not about gritting your teeth and walking away, or putting on a happy smile
while you fume underneath. One
can fight a fair fight without anger and resentment. That is the idea
Now let
us discuss more about what choosing for peace within does not mean. It does not mean denying your anger,
fear or upset. It means
observing your feelings, expressing them when appropriate, and then letting
them go.
It also
does not mean being a doormat or avoiding confrontation. It means learning how to communicate
effectively and acting boldly, at times, but not from anger. Mr. Roy Masters loves to say it is
possible to be strong without being wrong, meaning angry.
It does
not mean protesting all defense spending - a legitimate function of the federal
government.
Nor
does it mean to be a pacifist. Sometimes
an action of another demands a forceful response. It means to be at peace inside
yourself even if you are in a fight. This
attitude takes some time to cultivate, but is a wonderful way to live.
A
phrase to practice is "I can be at peace with this" (no matter
what 'this' is). It is
possible to be at peace even in the midst of chaos and war. There are many
stories of people who achieve this feat. Of the finest, two that are somewhat
familiar are the stories of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in American
history. These men were
surrounded by chaos, horror, intrigue, and very bad living conditions. Yet they remained calm, and as a
result inspired the nation.
Always recall that this kind of peace within, or your lack
thereof, always affects those around you. When you choose peace within, others
see that they too have this choice. This
is a wonderful gift to your children and others around you. However, if you continue to be caught
up in outer events and tied to your past traumas, anger and resentments, you
will keep those around you somewhat caught up as well. Keep this in mind, as it is a key to
family peace and relationship success. Be
the model, in other words, rather than waiting for others to let go of their
past and treat you as you wish to be treated.”
