your Emotions

Some people are critical of their emotions. They will say, "Don't trust your emotions." But our emotions allow us to grow, mature, feel fulfillment, and enjoy this life we've been given. Feelings were made to be our friends. If a negative emotion surfaces, it means something needs our attention. It is like the red light that appears on the dash when your car needs oil. We don't curse the light; we give it attention. Why not do the same thing with your emotions? As long as you take constructive action, emotions have served their purpose. -- Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages.
