Emotions are more than just what you feel.
They are powerful signals that you need to make changes in the way you live and the way you think about your life.
Frustration
This emotion tells you to be patient.
Something is not happening as quickly as you would prefer, even though you have done everything right.
Taking further action can be a mistake, like pulling up seedlings to make them grow.
Trust that things will work out.
Fear
This emotion tells you to be cautious, then courageous.
Caution is appropriate because the fear is warning you that something important is in danger.
Once you have assured yourself that you have made your best plan, execute it.
Fear is a bad master yet when mastered, a good servant.
Anger
This emotion tells you that you must clarify your instructions.
In relationships, anger is often the result of somebody not performing up to your standards.
Blowing up will not help, if want that person to "deliver the goods" in the future, you will need to be clearer about what you want done.
Or ask somebody else to do it, of course.
Hatred
This is emotion tells you that there is something about yourself that is broken.
If you hate your life and others, it is because you are not courageous enough to change and you hate that about yourself.
Stress
This emotion tells you to adapt your activities to your limitations.
Either renegotiate your commitments so that they can be achieved within a reasonable time or accept the fact that some things are not going to get done.
Boredom
This emotion tells you it is time to move on.
Boredom is quite different from tranquility, which is what you feel when you are relaxed and happy.
Boredom says that you need new challenges, new activities, more powerful goals.
Life is too short to waste it being bored.
Joy
This emotion tells you that you are doing the right thing and thinking the right way.
It tells you that even though you sometimes feel the other emotions on this list, you are alive to the fact that work and life are ultimately about creating and feeling joy--both in yourself and in those around you.
May You Enjoy A Lovely Day.
