Although you may never hear or get the chance to say exactly that line, having one memorable example of an English grammatical form in your head can make it much easier to learn other examples of the same grammar as you hear them.

If we see what we are alike it is not an explanation for what we have done, it is not even an unchangeable fact - It is simply a behaviour we have allowed to become permanent or simply quite occasional used. We have allowed ourselves to become Masters.When something is happening in our lives we have to choose our response reaction.Fear, Joy, Anger ? Something irritates me. I have to choose a response to it. I allow to be angry. We choose the same response reaction one more time, then we allow ourselves to be angry again and again until it is a basic response to this situation until we become The Masters of Anger, maybe Masters of pain or feeling guilt or Masters of noticing only ourselves.&nbsp; Is it my behaviour or have I only allowed myself to become a Master of exploding in my emotions towards my beloved ones.Have I allowed myself to compare and judge my life and decisions too often and that way I became The Master of low self esteem?&nbsp; And what about my relationships with others? I have allowed my mind to constantly set me up with idea that everyone is valuing me, my moves, the life I choose. With this constant (permanent) idea I have pushed my mind already unconsciously to believe that I have to please everyone I meet.I am a master of asking approval from others. Master of easily letting go standards and dropping into relationships (Okey, this maybe totally isn't an example for me, but I have to admit that I need to work on standards and how to truly beautifully and meaningfully create relationships).But this isn't the main idea.The main idea is for you to ask yourself a simple question: What are the emotions I have allowed myself to become a Master of .. ?What are the emotions I want to master? I am (or I will be) the Master of compassion,Master of caring only how Jesus would evaluate my decisions.Master of love ? - To others, to the closest ones, to ones that irritates me&nbsp; (yes, because to the one that irritates you, to the ones you would like to reproach you need to give all your love, because obviously they are missing something.) Maybe a master of counting on other people's emotions ? What do you choose? 4 of August 2010 2:04 pm <img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5cq26oS2A1qaobbko1_500.png"> #1 urn:lj:klab.lv:atom1:kastite_english:322 2010-08-02T15:42:00 2010-08-02T15:42:00 2010-08-02T13:09:25Z 2010-08-02T13:09:25Z It is the new beginning -&nbsp; to be aware what I want and what I will do. I have to admit that still it doesn't go easy for me BUT I will try. And It is the important thing - to try, try and try again. To snap out of randomness - the foggy life where you simply complete certain actions, recall emotions what you think you should feel in fixed position but you truly don't put much effort to think. Think what I want to do, to think why I react to happening things this way and maybe to try train my reactions my behaviour that affects other people. The new beginning sounds a little bit pompous But I&nbsp; honestly believe that this is the moment for us to change something, our at least (leastways) to put certain amount of effort to fix / to change ourselves. <ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I went running in morning</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Stretched </li><li>Self-made a hair mask from eggs</li><li>Had a hair mask and a clay mask for face</li><li>Sunbathed, worked a little </li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Played guitar a little bit</li></ul>(: remember - starting to fix/change ourselves doesn't start only in our heads, It has to start in our actions, it is the only way we can see the results, it is the only way to proceed if we can see the results. Start doing something. Start noticing your emotions Start to be aware what you want and let your actions start from there. <img src="http://www.churchalivelumberton.org/Images/New%20beginning2.jpg"> Ow yes, you can't imagine how I want to clean my soul in confession. :) Like a friend said to me: Why it's worth to worry (bother / trouble) about other less important (relevant / significant) things when you haven't put in order the things that really matters. ;)
