Tiger Woods, MSNBC Interview, June 17, 2001
... I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions... are going to
win; the guy who is controlling his emotions is going to win!
Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul
Following your feelings will lead you to their source. Only through emotions
can you encounter the force field of your own soul.
Arnold Bennett (1867-1931)
There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until
we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be
added the experience of the soul.
Jen, 16
Emotions surround us, and sometimes we let them get in our way. If we can learn
how to control them and share them with someone who we care about than we have
learned how to exept ourselves in new ways.
Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence, (c) 1995, Bantam
Being able to enter flow is emotional intelligence at its best; flow represents
perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performance
and learning. In flow the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but
positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand.
John Gottman, Ph.D. Author, Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, p.20
In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the
role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ,
your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your
success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships.
Barbara Hoberman Levine, Your Body Believes Every Word You Say, (Aslan Publishing)
Learning to love and accept ourselves is basic to human education. So is learning
to language emotion in a positive way. Ultimately when we learn to truly love
and accept ourselves, we'll be able to live well and love each other and every
thing we encounter.
