Choosing Joy and Managing Emotions
Choosing joy is a conscious decision that requires daily commitment, as it is not something that simply happens to us but is a discipline we must practice. Managing emotions involves understanding that they are influenced by our values, beliefs, and desires, emphasizing our active role in shaping our emotional states. By affirming, denying, embracing, or rejecting these influences, we can wisely or foolishly school our emotions, impacting the formation of our character. Embracing joy is seen as a moral obligation, highlighting the importance of actively engaging in positive emotional management.
