On any given day we may experience an array of emotions. That is the way it should be. Why do we have emotions? Emotions serve to motivate us. Without emotions we probably wouldn't do very much and as a result we wouldn't survive.
Emotions/motivations are felt in the body. They can make us feel comfortable or uncomfortable. When we experience an emotion it is for a purpose. It is to move us to action, to do something. What emotion are you experiencing at this very moment. What is the purpose of the emotion? What's it telling you to do? The response to the emotion should be temporary, short lived, after which we return to a relaxed, calm, balanced state.
When the trials and storms of life come upon us. Lets not take the emotion and make it a way of life. That is the misuse if emotion. We should not be afraid or fearful all the time. Take action to respond to the purpose of the fear, then move on. Fear,anger, anxiety, sadness, etc are not intended to be ways of living life, they are cues to respond and then move on. There is no place for devotion to emotion.
