The Truth About Emotions

Have you ever asked yourself "What is life about emotions?" If you have then chances are you have been chasing some answer to that question with no results. For most people they seem to be clueless about the questions emotions are asking them. You cannot blame them if you have a hard time coming up with an answer for that most fundamental question of life.


If someone asked you "What is the secret of living a happy life?" Without even thinking you would go right back and say "Happiness is living life." I know this because I have discovered this secret myself. The thing is most people do not take the time to really figure out what their life is all about. They simply go about their life doing what they do with no attention to who they are and what their purpose in life is.

Most people are programmed with all kinds of emotional software that was made to keep them in a perpetual state of emotional highs and lows. Life is supposed to be a continuous journey of happiness, sadness and satisfaction. When we wake up in the morning we are supposed to be happy and excited about life while as we go into our bedrooms at night we are supposed to think sad and depressed thoughts. Life is like a train conductor that never stops making changes to put people on the right track to happiness or sadness.

What most people do not realize is life is all about emotions. Most people try to stay clear and calm but in life they have to deal with all kinds of emotions. We become angry when things go wrong, we become upset when someone does something we don't approve of, or we get depressed over the loss of a loved one. It's just common human nature to feel these emotions. What most people don't understand is that staying calm and logical about these emotions will not solve any problems in life.

A more positive way to look at life is that it is all about emotions. You are what you make of your life so if you dwell on emotions too much you will lose control of your life. If you think too much about the negative things in life you will get depressed over these things. The key is to learn to let these emotions flow naturally. It may take time for this to happen but as long as you focus on the positives in life and hope for the best you will be able to enjoy your emotions more and have a better experience in life.

If you deal too much with emotions you will become depressed, anxious and angry, which will make it hard to enjoy life. One of my favorite quotes is "Emotions are a waste of life, unless you are using them to get something good out of life". Emotions are important for us to deal with the various issues in life such as stress, anger, anxiety and stress etc. We get affected by these emotions and can become physically as well as mentally fatigued.

A good way to deal with emotions is to get involved in activities that you are passionate about. For me this activity is reading books. I find it relaxing to read books and getting into the characters of these books. Another way is to get involved in sport and other activities that you can enjoy and keep the intensity level high. If you live in a place that has snow days this is the ideal way to deal with the emotions of cold weather.


The bottom line is if you can accept the fact that you cannot control the emotions of other people and try to eliminate them from your life, then you will be happier. Life is all about emotions and not being able to deal with them or ignore them will drain your energy and make you miserable. Remember if life is all about emotions you will have no energy to enjoy life or even do anything of value. You should try and make the best out of life as you can if you want to live a happy life.
