I did not plan to post 3 articles on spring season. I got too much carried away because it was my family's first spring since we moved to East Bay. Let's move back to the topic of Emotional IQ. I was talking about there is fear behind anger. Fear and anger are 2 most dangerous emotion which can deprive you of peace of your mind and damage your reputation and even business. But it is extremely difficult to control our emotion. You may pile up lots of stress by trying to control your emotion. It may drive you crazy. It aggravate controlling your emotion. This issue involves lots of complexity as other mental sickness. The issue will not be simply addressed by remedy by a medicine.
Having said that, however, there are method to improve your emotional peacefulness. It looks like known fact that many people in Martial Arts are somehow good at controlling their emotion. I myself practiced a little bit of Martial Arts. It is good mental training in going through lots of challenges of fighting, tournaments, climbing up black belt ranks and conquering them. Ancient soldiers and generals, especially Martial Arts Masters going through all fights and duels which could kill them or let them live, must have trained their own mental status and control them.
It is not just Japanese style Martial Arts, Kanfu of China, Taekwondo of Korea, etc... always emphasize the importance of status of mind. Zen is the static form and Kan-Fu is dynamic form to reach peace of mind, as I understand.
Having said the above, I am not suggesting you to practice Martial Arts. I am not selling Karate Dojo membership. Some may be good at it, others may not. One may like it, another may not like it. It is natural and understandable.
Then, the question is if there is a way to attain and maintain the peace of your mind whenever it is necessary?

Great post Shaw. We all have trouble with anger including me and i never thought of Martial Arts as a possible solution to assist me in learning to control my mind. I always kinda new that it was, I know it takes great discipline to practice Martial Arts and I have always been drawn to it and plan on getting my young boys involved with it soon. Now I am thinking family lessons would be wonderful I will look in to it.
Thanks for the info!
I love that quote about fighting to live and you will die. So true we need to take the fight out of life. It is like fighting to get out of the water and drowning when all we had to do was swim...
Hello Shaw,
If we do not control our thoughts and emotions,then they control us. Usually to our great harm or the harm of others.
Thank you for this great post. Have a great day.

Hi Joanne,
Thank you for your comment. It would definitely help to train young boys and girls for Martial Arts. It does not matter what kind of, it matters he or she is interested.
It is also ironical fact that a fighter's survivability goes down if he fight for life, despite that fact that they (we) all fight for life. There are some status of mind where you should concentrate for fight not to think all about living and surviving.
Thank you again for your comment.
