Today is Day11. Every students of LOVE, have you all read your chapter today?

Today's topic " Feelings are important" has really stroke a super big impact today for me. Right before two hours i have started read this chapter, few friends with me are actually arguing or maybe more like debating about how the past life,bad memories have controlled us. Yes, those memories will change our life dramatically by changing our point of view towards many thing. So in the end, when similar situation approach our life again, we will assume that maybe this is another bad experience and make ourselves bitter in some way. When we assume that, when we FEEL not like moving forward, what is the main factor that cause us to behave this way...?Yep, the answer is already highlighted,is feeling.

I would like to first share about one phrase that impacted me a lot in Day10, "Those who make the greatest impact on this world aren't those who are the smartest,fastest, or richest; it's those who know what to do when they FEEL like giving up." Yes, this phrase is so true, but have anyone think of how percent of the people who keep trying, never give up when they FEEL has successfully making the greatest impact on this world? No matter how high is the percentage, no doubt it is not everyone. But no matter how, a person who didn't give up although at last he still failed in achieving something will eventually won the respect and impacted the small amount of people around him. Don't let your FEELING to control your life, never give up! No matter how worst is the life now, as long as you are still breathing, you are blessed! WE ARE ALL TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.

Feeling is important and through Bible, we can understand that even Jesus know the important of the feeling and express it out when it is necessary. But yet, he know how to avoid feeling to control what he act, what his life going to be. It is so true that if Jesus, a fully man,fully God hasn't ignore the feeling, it shows how important the feeling is. Feeling can lead us to a good future, but most of the time feeling can lead many people towards destruction throughout the way to achieving something. Author used the example of two people, Ernest Hemmingway and Ernest Fowler to compare how they used their feeling. They both died tragically. But one was chose to let feeling took away his life, and another was chose to let feeling called him to sacrifice himself, to help more people.

In a relationship, let the feeling of LOVE flow around your life and make it a routine so that we can react LOVEly. If you don't allow love to become part of routine of life, love will be missing from the majority of the minutes in your day (from day10). And is so true that if you ignore feeling and allow feeling to overcontrol part of routine of life, love will be missing from the majority of the minutes in your day also.

FEELINGs are important, so deal with it! ^^
