Emotional Leverage

Emotional leverage is the ability to associate and utilize strong emotions, both positive and negative, to an action or to a process that is moving you towards a certain goal or purpose.

In order to do this we must come to understand that there has to be an emotional component to our actions and the experiences we live through.

To achieve some semblance of progression and fulfillment in our natural lives, one must first be open to the full range of our emotional experience.

In essence, to have lived completely through true suffering and true moments of beauty.

Once we open ourselves to the reality of the human condition, we now gain access to a more complete picture of our reality and of ourselves.

Furthermore, we gain access to certain psychological faculties that can then be utilized in the physical environment around us.

Do not feel intimidated by failure or success. By suffering or by beauty.

For without them, we have no tangible lessons to learn and nothing of substance to relate and influence the world.
