“When I was new, my sponsor, not so gently, advised me that my feelings were not valid (based in facts) - they were self-centered reactions to the facts. He further stated that I really only had two feelings - guilt and fear.”
Emotions come and go and can’t be controlled so there’s no reason to worry about them. That in the end, people should be judged by their actions since in the end it was actions that defined everyone.
— Nicholas Sparks
… We ask that we be given strength and direction to do the right thing, no matter what the personal consequences may be.
