Our Decision, Our Behavior!

There’s no problem with having a weak thought, it’s certainly the behavior that may soon follow that thought that matters most.

Primary emotions and impulses originate in our lower “automatic brain” called the cerebellum, and frequently, if not most of the time, without our personal volition.

The cerebrum (the higher brain) is where we decide to give merit and eventual action to these involuntary emotions and impulses or to willingly redirect them in a more positive and constructive pattern of thought.

In other words, we can’t always control the initial emotion or impulse, but we certainly have the capacity to decide what to do with them, instead of simply following them.
