This week's BOLD LAW...." Keep your emotions between the lines "

Keep yourself under control. If you are the type that gets so excited as good things happen , you may fall really far and land hard when life hands you a failure. Ups and downs are life happening to us and when we have roller coaster emotions , it becomes exhausting to stay on that wild ride.

Better to keep an even keel , not too high, not too low. By all means celebrate your wins and remember , there's another game to be played tomorrow. Learn from your losses to be better in the next game as well. 

In talking about this with one of you over the weekend , we discussed how staying humble and vulnerable are two qualities that keep us in a learning mode. When we are grateful for other's successes , we attract more of that success to us. When we are vulnerable , transparent and honest about our lessons learned because of our mistakes , others are attracted to us because we are deemed to be approachable. In contrast , when we allow others to put us up on a pedestal , or worse, put ourselves up there , we are destined to be knocked off and crash hard. Stay humble , my friends. It's an admirable quality.

I have a saying taped to my lamp on my desk. It says , " In victory, be humble... , In defeat , be strong ...In everything else, be fair ! "

Keep your emotions between the lines.
