emotion

People in love overvalue their heart and undervalue their mind.

Once I was free; there was no cage that could bind me, and I had yet to create my box of numbness within my mind to be my silent protector.

If truth doesn't set you free, generosity of spirit will.

Part of God's work in his people is synchronizing the heart and the mind thus providing freedom from the deceit of emotion-based beliefs. Emotions are changing while truth is absolute. They don't believe simply because it sounds good, or deep, beautiful, happy, fun, cool, simple, or intelligent to them; but because it's true.

Don't overestimate your emotions and underestimate your intelligence.

Before you accomplish your dreams physically, your inner make up, mindset, emotions and perception have fought the battle mentally and that already determined how the battle will be fought physically.

The deepness of your mind produces the thickness of your thoughts.

Organizing your emotions reclaims your power over any given drama. Nothing is stronger than your own mind.

When you have any sort of intense emotional reaction, you have a choice: look for proof that you should feel it even deeper or look for the thought process that is triggering the emotion. One takes you on a downwards spiral, while the other upwards. One breeds toxic patterns, the other awareness. The choice is yours.

Emotional baggage,_ which is carried over from the past, colors our perceptions. Likewise, past conclusions and beliefs, based on reasoning that may or may not have been accurate, also tint our perception of reality. Retaining our capacity for reason is common sense, but definite conclusions and beliefs keep us from seeing life as it really is at any given moment.Emotional reactions can be unreasonable, and reason can be flawed. It__ difficult to have deep confidence in either one, especially when they__e often at war with each other. But the universal mind exists in the instant, in a moment beyond time, and it sees the universe as it literally is. It__ the universe perceiving itself. It is, moreover, something we can have absolute confidence in, and with that confidence, we can maintain a genuinely positive attitude.

Moods are not to be confused with emotions. Moods will dispose you to having an emotion. Certain moods you're more likely to get angry than others, as we all know, but emotion is not the same as mood. Emotions, I think, always have to do with agitated forms of desire. Whenever you're in an emotional state, you have some sort of agitated desire. So, emotions are fairly special -- I am not always in some sort of emotional state or other, but I think I am always in some mood or other.

After that day, I discovered one indelible truth. I discovered that love wasn__ everything that mattered in life. It was an emotion that not many had the luxury of feeling without any pain attached to it. Many say that love will set you free, but I disagree. Love is a cage, a very painful one; its gilded bars made with yearning, heartache, and unfulfilled dreams. And the moment I realized that love wasn__ necessary to one__ survival I became free. No one would have the power to hurt me again.

To love is to think.And I almost forget to feel only from thinking about her.I don__ know what I want at all, even from her, and I don__ think about anything but her.I have a great animated distraction.When I want to meet her,I almost feel like not meeting her,So I don__ have to leave her afterwards.And I prefer thinking about her, because it__ like I__ afraid of her.I don__ know what I want at all, and I don__ want to know what I want. All I want to do is think about her.I__ asking nothing of nobody, not even her, except to think.

A silence overtook the odd family in their odd surroundings as loss became the mockery of the moment, and they were caught up in the emotional release that is common in a theater audience after the sudden ending of a tragic movie; the curtain closes and the people are still in their seats, numb and sighing their way back into reality.

[novan]: bassists are very good with their fingers[novan]: and some of us sing backup vocals, so that means we're good with our mouths too...(~ IM chat with Novan Chang, 18, bassist)

I'd written Smashed not because I was ambitious and not because writing down my feelings was cathartic (it felt more like playing one's own neurosurgeon sans anesthesia). No. I'd made a habit--and eventually a profession--of memoir because I hail from one of those families where shows of emotions are discouraged.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and __ransformed_ her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better?
