What emotions do to you.

Emotions have the capability to thrive on a single ray of hope coming through an aperture because they are powered by human overthinking. You will risk everything thinking your emotions are right because they are coming straight from the heart. Trust me, behind any of it, there's nothing more than your delusions. 

That's what unattended emotions do, they make you delusional and leave you feeling stupid. Emotions to the power of 2 - by chance, you have a guilty conscience, good luck keeping up with the surge! Scattered emotions can make you a prisoner of its own design and you are the one to be blamed for.  WHY? Because out of emotions, you might find yourself throwing outlandish parties just to fit in but when no one turns up, you will realize you're better off being a geek. 

The problem is not our emotions. No. The problem is our attachment to them. Our beliefs and labels attached to them. We perceive an end to be a loss because of some misguided notion that loss is bad, we rarely realize it to be an opportunity to change and grow only because we are transfixed by our emotions. We can't let go of what feels comfortable and close. When you're too attached to emotions, you lose touch with reality and your sense of reasoning. 

Finding a balance and a neutrality between the heart and mind is important otherwise you will continue appeasing your emotions by choosing the same pain, again and again, thinking this is how it is supposed to be, this is how it works.

Emotions really don't have to be this difficult.


Think of your mind as an open window or a bright blue sky. Emotions are like the breeze coming through the window that gently stroke you and move on. You don't try to catch hold of the breeze, do you? Emotions are like clouds passing in a bright blue sky. It is important to find that balance to realize that you aren't the clouds but the unlimited sky. Balance to judge when you're clutching tightly to them; when you lose your self-control and confine yourself to the same old pain. You need to stop considering yourself to be a cloud and jump into the uncertainty of the unlimited sky otherwise you will never grow, you will keep going back to the dead and old.

Very few people in the world know that emotions in action are one's thoughts, beliefs and perceptions about the emotions and not the emotions themselves. Confused? Emotions float because they are energy. They come and they go like visitors. But when we give a second thought to it, we build a perception to it and with the math of 15,000 thoughts a day, it's impossible to stop the chain reaction after it. 

Don't trust your emotions until you can clearly see the motivation that drives you to take a step. When you deliberately choose positive emotions over negative ones, you are channelling them in the right direction. Learning to judge what emotions arise in you, how they resurface and finding the root cause of it eventually helps to create a mind map. This doesn't happen overnight, it takes a lot of practice and patience but eventually, you find yourself running wild and free without the unnecessary old baggage or the worries of future.

Emotions hold immense potential when channelled in the right direction. Managed well, they can make you write stories worth inspiring the world. Mind you, they are a potential powerhouse, it depends on how you use them - to destruct your self or to build a new world.
