There are so many forces calling us away from paying attention to our feelings and our emotions. Sure, many times our emotions can cause us to get in the way of ourselves, overemphasizing what we are feeling. But for the most part, we do not do a good job of tapping into the power of the subconscious, what lies beneath.
We rob ourselves from experiencing all that life has to answer when we suppress and push our feelings down, so that we don't have to deal with them. The truth of the matter, of course, is that our feelings will always affect us. What's at play is whether we our identify them and try to get a grasp on/of them or allow them to control us without our paying heed to them. We would do well to embrace our emotions, the positive, happy ones, as well as the negative, sad ones . . . and everything in between. Only by identifying how we feel and what causes us to feel that way will we truly live.
