Emotional or strategic?

Emotions are fleeting. They can't be relied upon especially when the going gets hard. Also, emotions make us see drastic measures as the only option forward. And they do not present a choice.

When we are in the grip of emotions, it's hard to see outside them. What helps is having people in your life who can call you out when you are being emotion-driven. You might hate it at the moment, but it will help you loosen the grip that emotions have over you.

Strategic decision-making is calm and allows you to always have a choice. You act from abundance and not fear. You are in charge, even if it might not work.

Each iteration where emotions take over is an opportunity to build the muscle of taking strategic decisions instead.
