Life is made of
moments and for human beings every moment has fleeting glimpses of varied EMOTIONS which is nothing but Each moment of transitional
inner omnipresent
natural sensation.
From being gregarious to being weepy or fearful we experience stress and thrill
in varied measure each moment of our life. A simple phone call can change our
emotions around and surprises can turn to shock in a jiffy. Sports, especially
close contests in which you are an interested party, offers the perfect setting
for an array of emotions that you experience.
Very broadly,
the most common emotions that each individual continually experiences include the
following, Love, Joy, Surprise, Anger, Sadness and Fear. The challenge for
human beings is to be able to control their emotions lest the emotions overwhelm
and lead to undesirable consequences. Control
of emotions does not necessarily mean not expressing the emotion but implies
that we should be able to quickly become aware of the intensity of the emotion
and keep that in check from consuming us. Infatuation for example could be
the emotion of love gone awry. Revenge on the other hand is a mix of anger and
hurt creating a potent mix to trick the mind into being subverted by the emotion.
Then there are fears masquerading in various guises; nothing beats superstitions
for sheer variety of fears.
Every emotion
has a role to play in shaping our personality. Anger for example is an emotion
that spurns us to action. The anti incumbency factor that votes out an existing
government is an example of collective anger being constructively channelized for
positive results. Fear is an emotion that prevents us from being foolhardy and
taking stupid risks. Sadness especially when we experience failures is an
emotion that alerts us to the complexities of life and the challenges we are
likely to confront despite the best of preparations. Happiness acts as a great
motivator to pursue success, become daring and aim higher; for as they say
greater the obstacle greater the glory. Love is an all pervading emotion. It is
an emotion that can engulf all other emotions; a soldier sacrifices his/ her
life for love of the country while a
spurned lover can turn into a revengeful person for he / she cannot overcome
the overwhelming power of the emotion of love in their being.
None can brush
aside emotions though many would pretend to be indifferent to it. Emotions are
part of the core of our life and being. What we need to be aware of is the
numerous emotions that keep tugging at our
hearts and minds constantly for they consist of Each
moment of
transitional inner
omnipresent natural
sensation.
Harness the power of the
emotions within you, to spur you to positive thoughts, decisive action and
desired results.
