Drop the Rock–the Ripple Effect – Quote 35

When used properly, our emotions help us stay alive and healthy. Fear keeps us safe. Guilt prevents us from repeating a harmful action. Awe keeps us humble and grateful. In a balanced life, our emotions serve as valuable and faithful indicators of how we’re living and how we’re using our free will. They often also point to what we’re planning to do next—and, sometimes, to what we need to do instead.
