“Emotions are like gasoline – they can both be dangerous and destructive, but extremely powerful when controlled or harnessed properly. We can take advantage of this emotional energy under our control to help us become more productive, if we can capture its value.”
~Mike Poulin
I came across this quote in a recent article by my friend Dr. Susan Biali entitled “Harness Your Emotions & Take Back Your Life.”
I encourage you to click the link and read the short article, particularly if you have a tendency to react first, and think later. Each of us can think of times when we allowed our emotions to push us to make a comment or take an action which we would later regret. By learning to control and harness the power of our emotions, we become better leaders and more effective in all our relationships.
