Oh, I'm having an emotional moment right now.

There's something wrong with me.

No, there's nothing wrong with you.

There's nothing wrong with you.

The other extreme is, oh, I'm letting my emotions run my life and I'm making a bunch of bad decisions.

And my excuse is, well, you know, I lost some friends or I had this traumatic experience happen to me.

That's why I'm doing, that's just an excuse.

And it's a very easy excuse.

Guess what?

It's time to carry on.

Remember, don't dwell.

I'm in control.

This is my life.

If you are in the problem, you won't see the solution to the problem.

Take a step back, detach from the chaos, detach from the mayhem, detach from your emotions, detach from your ego, and be able to assess the best way to execute that is the job of a leader.

If you take any trait,

of a human being and you take it to an extreme, masculine or feminine or otherwise, you take it to an extreme, it's going to be a problem.

Is it good to have no emotions whatsoever?

No, that's called a sociopath.

Is it good to let your emotions run your life and make your decisions based on your emotions?
