Everyday we experience a lot of emotions. You may have been hungry as soon as you woke up this morning; excited as you smell the aroma of your French toast breakfast; and disappointed to find out that you don’t have enough milk to partner with your coffee.
Human behavior as we know can be explained by 2 major attributes namely, our thoughts and emotions. We know too, that the pattern by how we think and feel are influenced by our respective backgrounds in family, education and experiences. But wouldn’t you agree that many times, we are governed by our feelings? Have you gone home in regret of buying something impulsively? How about wishing you hadn’t said what you said that ‘way’?
This article was inspired by the book ‘The Relationship Principles of Jesus’ by Tom Holladay
If you ask me, more often than not, we only do what we do because we feel like doing it. We choose what we eat because our pallets’ looking for that specific dish. I read from a book once that life is not a buffet. We cannot just choose to live on days when life is exciting, fun and safe. Rather, we have to go through every single day not knowing whether we’ll be hit by the most unwanted and devastating news of a dead relative or the unpleasant surprise of being replaced. Of course, when these things meet us in the face, our first reaction is? You guessed it! Our feelings!
