The answer is simple our mind is not stronger than our feelings.

Look back and think, about every poor decision that you made.

It didn’t come from your mind. It came from your feelings.

There are always your feelings overpowering you to take that decision and not your mind.

I mean, who doesn’t want to be beautiful, successful, and acceptable. Ultimately ‘complete success’ is considered the ultimate goal in life. Right?

Nothing wrong! Pursuing these goals is good for one’s physical and mental health. To be acceptable as a complete woman is a fine goal too.

But the problem is when a desire to succeed or when a desire to feel complete becomes an obsession, it can cloud our instincts and judgments, causing us to make more wrong decisions in life instead of right.

Trust me, it is painful to live with a wrong decision when you know a decision was made on feelings rather than mind.

I believe, chasing for ‘complete success’ is living with tunnel vision. When we see life through a tunnel, we get so focused that we cannot see the bigger picture or we ignore the red flags, signs, and warnings in the life journey.

For example, A few years ago when I was depressed, I was desperate for happiness. I wanted to settle in another country. I was so desperate that I was willing to do anything or buy anything that could help me escape from this country. I got an agency onboard, over-promising me instant PR with another country. I didn’t study or plan the process well and started dreaming and hoping big. The desperation to live a successful lifestyle blinded me because I was not mentally fit for any tests or hadn’t gotten any alignment from my family members for the same dream. I not only lost my money, but more than that the wrong decision cost me shame and anger against my family members for years.

In search of instant gratification, I ignored that this decision could cost me my family.

This personal story is here to tell you that we often end up ignoring our mind which affirms at the start that it is not the right choice or decision.

So, don’t overlook it!

However, there is one way you can avoid falling into this trap and not waste your life anymore.

Trust me when it comes to feeling complete and happy. EQ matters. Self-awareness matters.

It is a starting point of knowing yourself and your life completely. When you are aware of where your emotions are coming from, you can recognize things better and make better decisions.

You can manage your thoughts, habits, and behavior with self-confidence because you know which dominant emotions run your life.

When an awareness like this is learned. You have a better ability to control your impulsive habits and make thoughtful and constructive decisions.

In short, learning emotional intelligence means knowing your emotions well to adapt to changing situations well, constructively use them for your own growth, and make better decisions for life.

Girl, we don’t need to live in fear to get happiness on our own terms. We need to take steps to learn and unlearn the emotions that are running our lives.

Living intentionally means knowing your emotions accurately and then attracting whatever you want in life.
