Our Emotions

"It will make more sense in years to come. Just be an observer, not a reactor, to your emotions.  Most people do not know that it's their emotions that are doing the thinking.  Your emotions are your emotions, but you have got to learn to do your own thinking," said Rich Dad, from the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.  This reflects a lot of truth about the world around us.  As humans, we have logic on our side if we use it to our advantage; however, if we choose to not use it, we are letting our emotions thinking for us.  We are letting our emotions to direct our life when most of the time, they can lead us to places where we don't want to be or will have regrets later on.  I've been in this pit many times in the past, and looking back letting my emotions doing the thinking was the worst decision ever due to the many angst that follows it.  Letting our brain doing the thinking helps us to avoid situations where we don't want to be in and helps us to make wise choices that are best for us; so what should we do? Be the observer of our emotions rather than acting on it.  When we observe something, we don't let it get to us and irritate us and let it affect our thought process.  We see for what it is and take actions base on what is best for us.  This is something that take will take years for us to come to understand; it might not click right away, but we have to have hope that it will click.
