When Our Emotions Lead

When we feel a strong passion to suddenly jump into a new situation, or basically make a rash decision, we are better off staying exactly where we are until that emotion settles down...We want to make sure we feel a consistent "yes" to a decision for at least a week before accepting it as a beneficial thing to do.

If there is any doubt or second guessing anytime within that one week period, HOLD on deciding until your doubt has left you. If the doubt doesn't leave you, let the decision go or table it for a later time.

There is an enormous difference between living a life out of true inner passion (which involves wisdom, intuition and common sense) and being led by one’s passionate emotional response that was triggered by a conversation or event. When we are being carried on a wave of passion, we can ask ourselves, is this passionate decision rooted in wisdom, or emotion?
