Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another day in the #inleomonthly prompt. Tell us one time you made a decision based on emotions. What was the result?.

As humans, we don't have full control over emotions; most times, our emotions get the better part of us, and making decisions in that state is very wrong because we will surely regret those decisions. I have made decisions based on my emotions. I regret my actions. Honestly, it is very bad to make decisions when you are angry.

I know it is not easy for us to control our emotions, but we have to, or we may live the rest of our lives with regret. I have learned never to take actions if emotional.

After I lost my dad, things were not going well for my family. My mom couldn't take care of me and my little siblings. I had to move in with my uncle so that my uncle would take care of me and things would be easy for Mom.

My uncle was very good and kind to me, but the wife never for one day gave me peace of mind. She abused and insulted me. I had to endure the abuse since my uncle was paying my fees.

One day my uncle travelled, and I was not feeling too strong. I was lying down on my bed when my aunt walked into my room and slapped me. I was so shocked because I didn't understand why she slapped me. I was still trying to find out what my crime was when she slapped me again. At this point, I couldn't stand her humiliation. Inside me, my heart was boiling. She raised her hand to slap me for the third time. I held her hand, pushed her, and excused myself from the room. Unknown to me, she hit her head on the wall, and she was in a pool of blood. One of the children ran to me and told me that their mom was bleeding. Getting to the room, she was unconscious. She had lost a lot of blood. I rushed her to the hospital with the help of the driver.

At that moment my eyes cleared, and that anger jumped out of my life. I was so afraid. I regretted my actions and just wished that I could turn back the hand of time. My uncle was very disappointed because he always asked me to overlook the wife, and I should always try my possible best to avoid her and her problems. That was the worst day of my life. Since that day I told myself I will never allow my emotions to control me. I promised myself never to act when I am emotional. I asked myself, This woman could have died if the kids hadn't run to me to tell me that their mom was in a pool of blood. Many things were running through my mind that day, but I am so grateful that she is okay.

It is okay to be emotional; never make decisions or act when you are emotional. Dealing with emotions can be critical; it is very important for us to handle those emotions.

One of the things that helps me to control my emotions is walking out of a problem whenever my emotions are taking the better part of me. I engage myself in things that will make me happy. It is very important for us not to act when we are emotional.
