One concept I
would like to focus on is the negative effects of emotions. Though emotions can
drive and motivate you when making decisions according to the Boss Text, it can
also cause problems. There are many types of emotions, so it is important not
to let the negative ones like anger and fear control you. It is easy to get
caught up in the moment at times ad act on what you initially think and/or
feel. But you have to remember to take a step back and think logically to
analyze your situation. There will be many situations in life where you will
have to make a decision about something, but someone or something has caused
you to feel negative emotions. That can change the way you see things and also
unfortunately aid you in making a wrong decision. Because emotions are such
powerful agents in our lives, it is important to separate the good from the bad
in order to kind your mind clear. I think this is an important lesson in life,
and that it would help me make better decisions for myself.
Emotions seem to be a double-edged sword to me, in that they can cut both ways. Pleasant emotions such as love or levity can lift our spirits while, on the other hand, fear and depression can leave us debilitated and unable to move on with our lives. Thus, emotions can have either favorable or unfavorable consequences depending on which ones are applied. I also think it is important for us to properly separate the positive emotions from the negative ones. It does seem to have a way in keeping our mind’s clear and helping us figure out how to address what we are feeling.
