Reflecting On A Decision I Made Based On Emotions

15 days ago

Having your emotions control how you express your feelings especially when in situations can be risky. This is one reason why being a man comes with the price of letting go of our emotions to make the right decision that will suit us. This is why we need to have emotional intelligence not just for relationship factors but for our day-to-day prospects and response to any situation around us.

I have made several decisions be I got too emotional over the person or situation and later I realized I should have been patient enough to make the decision. It is very risky to make decisions based on emotions because it never ends well. There was a time I decided because I was emotionally down and I was not comfortable with the way I was being spoken to at home, it was not that I was abused but I felt I was very disrespected and I got emotional over it, I had to leave the house and started living with a friend of mine it was there I realize that I should have been patient enough, I did not even use up to 3 weeks I went back to apologize to my dad for the mistake I did back then.

Another emotional decision I made was having a girlfriend, this changed my mindset and I felt it deeply. I had no intention of having a lady in my life because I was very focused on my dream, but this is the life we all want to taste something to know how it feels and if it is true or not, and I tasted it, it was sweet at the beginning but later the ending caused a wound in me that it feels very hard to forget or let go, I felt the heartbreak deeply all because I decided out of emotions.

One general problem I have had right from my childhood is getting so emotional over little things, that I am even ready to sacrifice myself for the person if I pity the person. I often give out money and expect nothing in return, not that I am generous but because when I get emotional over something it seems very hard for that stuff to leave my mind at that moment. The whole logic is about feelings, we all our that inner voice that tries to persuade us to make decisions even though we are not comfortable and distracts our mind from thinking about the right thing.

In conclusion, When we get emotional thinking at that moment can be risky and the decision we make can be uncertain, when we later come to a realization we will discover the decisions we make when we get emotional can be very risky. This is why we have to learn to be emotionally intelligent, it takes time but we must understand ourself first then gradually make corrections to our mistakes.
