One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.—Proverbs 16:32
Brainy Tip: You cannot hide your emotions, but you can learn to control them.
Have you ever thrown a whole lot of clutter into a closet just before guests arrived, only to hear a loud noise as the closet door suddenly opened and everything fell out—in full view of your guests? The same thing can happen in your emotional life. If you repress and hide toxic emotions, the time will come when those buried emotions will suddenly come pouring out. And, of course, it will happen at the most inopportune time, because buried emotions are not controlled, thoughtful emotions. They are volcanic in nature and cannot be suppressed indefinitely. They will explode in some way at some time. Sooner or later, your emotions will come out, so you have to learn how to express your emotions in a healthy and controlled way by controlling the way you think about what you are facing.
